Paph haynaldianum 'Krull's Rainbow' AM/AOS x self??

[richard.feldman48]

Hoping to confirm the identification of this plant. I lost the label for it. But I'm pretty sure it's one I got at Krull & Smith a couple of years ago,
Paph haynaldianum 'Krull's Rainbow' AM/AOS x self. Does that seem right? Thanks.

Probably. Here’s the website for KS:

I just looked at the award images for P. haynaldianum when it was awarded it's 85 point AM in 2015. It does look like it. The award image perhaps shows a slightly richer color but that could just be photography. I did not write down all of the measurements but it had 3 flowers, 1 bud on a single inflorescence. Natural spread of 15.0 cm wide by 11.2 cm vertical.
It has really nice shape. As far as Krull Smith goes, Frank Smith would not self anything unless he felt that the plant was superior some how. That would be good enough for me!!!

It won't look exactly like the parent.

Thanks very much for the responses.

Big923Cattleya: as you said, the color of my flower is not as saturated as the one shown at the Krull Smith site. The flower was a bit more colorful when it first came opened, but has faded a bit since then. And the photo might have made it even a little less vibrant. Flower is exactly the size you indicated. One flower is open, 2 more to come.

Just remember that color is very hard to judge at times. It depends so much on lighting, flash, camera on phone or camera on a digital SLR.
The best evaluation comes from a plant in hand. Is it darker, lighter or the same is difficult to assess.
