Paph exul x henryanum

[bulolo]

I'm surprised this hasn't been registered yet or at least I didn't find it on the Orchidroots web page. I thought there might be more spots but I love the pink pouch.

better than i thought. A nice mix of the parents.

Definitely better than I thought this cross would be. I can not imagine a more 50/50 combination of the parents. What is the growth habit like?

 

[bulolo]

It's about half way between each species. Smaller than exul but larger than henryanum.

 

[Paphluvr]

I agree with the previous comments, a nice mix of the two species.

Blooming again with 5 flowers. Quite a vigorous hybrid.

Well grown! Many primary henryanum hybrids tend to have fewer and smaller spots than henryanum itself. This hybrid shows more spotting than most, most likely due to combining it with exul which also has strong spotting on the dorsal. When you cross an henryanum hybrid back to henryanum or another henryanum hybrid, the spotting comes out more strongly in some of the offspring.

Very nice hybrid... and wonderful hybrid vigour!
