No, I started breeding orchids 10 years ago, and our Paph. Duke of Marlborough's I originally made in 2001. Here is a link to one of the first seedlings to bloom from that cross:

Are all the offspring that light, Robert? I think this one is gorgeous.

Yes, they have all been pretty light in color.

So Robert would you say that it's the influence of the platyphyllum parent that gives this color differences between the two different clones? Mine with more earth tones of brown and yellows and yours of whites and pinks. I have not seen the 'Ruth Kennedy' clone in person to know of it's colors traits. Has anyone have a PIC of 'Ruth Kennedy'? Do you Robert have a PIC of yours?

Addition: here is a clone that shows dark markings, including the back of the flowers

Yes, I think our Paph. platyphyllum's have all been pretty light in color. Here are some pictures of the clone that I used to make Paph. Duke of M.
