Paph Dr. Toot - finally found this plant

[Michael Bonda]

In spike when purchased
Doctor (or Dr.) Toot
delentaii x kolopakingii
Been looking for years and found at a local orchid show/sale and in spike!
Likely y’all would comment on what I paid!
I cannot take credit for blooming.
2 buds. 2 growths.
I just adore delentaii crosses. Still in search of Neerach, Marilyn Hansen and Stella Linn

These are sometimes fragrant, just an fyi. Usually only slightly fragrant at most and usually only during the day.

Thanks. I’ll check. I do not have a good sense of smell after CoVID19 but will try

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Yikes, sorry to hear that. If it's even fragrant, the scent probably won't be terribly strong, so even without the Covid19 complications, don't set your expectations too high.

Is that from Jurahame? I've considered picking one up even though intersectional crosses aren't really my thing just out of nostalgia for those wild Dr Toot ads RJ Rands used to run in the AOS Bulletin.

Looks like a smaller lighter version of Delrosi. Nice...

 

[SlipperKing]

Wow! I haven't seen this plant/flower in 20 plus years, since Rands made the cross. This appears to be one of the better one's. Most were pretty wonky.

That's a pretty good outcome for a kolo hybrid

Do the kolo hybrids generally have a poor flower conformation or not are reliable bloomers? Parvi or Brachy hybrids with multifloral Polyantha are some of my favorite hybrids so I am always searching for them.

Just saw this hybrid listed on ebay... nice-looking plant, actually. Dying to know the origin of the name and more about these "wild ads." I have a slipper-growing friend who is, shall we say, gaseously gifted?

I missed this post last year. Lovely flower. I have a Marilyn Hansen. If you are interested PM me. In transparency, I have not been able to bloom it.

Barbariccia?

Really? I know a nursery that has well over a dozen here in PA.

Hello. I am interested in the Marilyn Hansen. Can you email me at [email protected]. Thanks. Mike

I remember Dr. Toot from when it first came out. Haven't thought about that for years. Neat.

Hello. Do you have Phrag. Schroderae available? I purchased from you several years ago and I would like to add to my collection. Thank you. Mike

I thought the motorcycle-riding, bulldog kissing guy made Dr. Toot. Can't remember his name, but his
business was Orchid Zone long ago.

 

[lori.b]

Beautiful flower! I love the name too

Orchid Zone was Terry Root, Dr. Toot was Rands.
