Paph. Dragon Lord NEW FCC

[Slipperhead]

A new FCC was crowned at the recent National Capital Orchid Society show held Columbus Day weekend! Hadley Cash at Marriott Orchids showed Paph. Dragon Lord 'Winged Warrior' (Rolfei x bellatulum) and it earned a 91 pt. FCC, his second.

He told me this one was particularly special since he was the breeder.

Enjoy!

BTW, you can view complete judging results of the show at www.plantregistration.com. Select 'Award Summaries' at the top, select an exhibitor then view the results! All of the plant registration for the show was done online with nearly all plants registered prior to show setup! Let me know if you have questions.

One very sweet flower!! I would of never made the cross. Because I can't bloom Rolfei!! Great job Mr Cash

 

[goldenrose]

:clap: Congrats to Hadley! I can't bloom Rolfei either! Should crossing to bellatulum make it easier?
Congrats to NCOS, excellent with their organization & display of winners, it would really be cool to have pics!

[Yoyo_Jo]

That's great! Must go look up Rolfei 'cuz I don't know what that is.

 

[SlipperFan]

Excellent flower!

 

[Heather]

Hey Garland! Long time no see, glad you're back around.

That's sweet. I'm surprised though, that's only Hadley's second FCC? I thought he would have had more...

 

[Corbin]

That is one awesome flower but, to be quite honest, a little to busy for my taste. Congratulations to Hadley.

 

[Greenpaph]

Spectacular!

:drool:

In case you haven't looked it up, and for others who don't know, Rolfei = bellatulum x rothschildianum. I've never been a fan of these, and probably wouldn't be able to grow them anyway.

... I've never been a fan of these....

i hadn't been either but recently, i dunno....

 

[Elena]

Oh that's just gorgeous.

 

[Bolero]

That is a pretty impressive plant. 91 points is incredible!

 

[Rick]

That looks like a big dramatic flower. The red highlights are very cool with the black and white background.

I believe this is the seventh FCC for Hadley. He also got the AOS award [cant recall name] for best paph a few years ago. Rusty
