Paph. Doll's Kobold (I think)

[e-spice]

Here's a first bloomer that came from Orchid Inn and was labeled as a PAS0186 Paph. henryanum 'Jumbo Spots' x 'Wesley'. It is obviously not labeled right!

I am pretty sure this is Doll's Kobold. I am pretty happy with it though. It is a good grower too. The roots seem to always be growing.

very nice plant!!! Looks like there is charlesw. inside!! Jean

 

[papheteer]

that is very pretty! Whats the leafspan of the plant and the NS of the flower? It does look like a Doll's Kobold. 3 blooms on it's first bloom is very impressive!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Wow! Fantastic on all counts :drool::clap:

 

[etex]

:clap::clap:Very fabulous blooms! Looks like a great grower,too-those roots look vigorous! Very impressive! Now I want one!!

 

[slipperscout]

I flowered out a couple of plants from this cross and also found that they were mislabelled. Your flower is much nicer than mine, at least yours provided enough quality for probable ID.

That's beautiful and beautifully well grown. Wish all my plants had roots like that.

:clap::clap: I like it, I think it's a colorful cutie!! :clap::clap:
What media are you growing it in? Fantastic roots!:drool:
Personally, I don't think it's D.K., to me there's something more than charlie & henry. Has anyone seen D.K. with that much of a pink flush to the dorsal & the pink/red spots are making me question it, ..... could be just me.
Is the color accurate in the photo?

Hi goldenrose,
It is growing S/H style in PrimeAgra medium. I think the color is very pretty accurate but will double check that tonight.

Yes, the dorsal tends to be white in D.K. doesn't it. There seems to be a lot of charlesworthii in it. I wonder if it is D.K. crossed back with charlesworthii. May explain the pinker dorsal.

Maybe ? ....
here's what claims to be a Little By Little -
http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphcomplex/PaphLittlebyLittle1.jpg.
Koopowitz claims this X is the most variable in color, most have the expected white dorsla w/spots.Others are unspotted, have brushed dorsals or even green dorsals.
I tried a search for Doll's Kobold offspring, didn't find much other than this - offered on Cloud's -
Brandon Alexander x henry x D.K. - http://www.cloudsorchids.com/images/8424_0.jpg
...the mystery will continue .....

What ever it is (either Paph. Doll's Kobold, or Doll's Kobold x charlesworthii), I loooooooooooooove the colors on that one!

Do you think this is the cross in Sam's Catalog:

PAN0051 Paph. Doll's Kobold (charlesworthii 'Flat Dorsal' x henryanum 'Jumbo Spots')

You should email Sam with a picture to see what he says!

I'm with Robert, whatever it is the color is Great! I'm sorry it wasn't what you thought, but what a nice mix-up!!! If you get tired of it, I'd gladly take it - named or not!

Whoa - Robert complemented one of my plants!?! With all the great plants he looks at daily at OL makes me think "I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!!!!"

I don't know if it really should be PAN0051 or not, Mrs. Paph. I sent Sam an email with the photo attached. I'll let you all know what he thinks it might be.

I wonder if the lighting isn't making the pink a little more intense and a bit lighter than in reality. Even so, the color is unusual, and I'd love to have that plant!!! :smitten:

Fantastic e-spice! What color is the staminode?

Thanks! The staminode is a light yellow and the little dot in the middle is a medium yellow.
