Paph henrietta fujiwara x dayanum

That came out rather nice!
Is there parishii or dianthum in it?? Or maybe just haynaldianum but the color reminds me of parishii a bit.
I like it!

I'm trying to figure out where the twisty petals come from.....?

 

[mrhappyrotter]

If that's what's on the label, then it's misidentified. I doubt this is a dayanum hybrid. It's almost certainly a P. dianthum hybrid. Assuming the Henrietta portion is correct, then I'd say this is Henrietta Fujiwara x dianthum.

 

[troy]

My thought as well, the leaves are very fleshy and the staminode, twisty petals and color is very dianthum

 

[PaphMadMan]

I really don't see much in it that would necessarily come from dayanum. In a very general way the flower has a shape that could reflect dayanum, but I would expect some mottling of the leaves. The staminode looks very Pardalopetalum. Henrietta Fujiwara can have slightly twisted petals from primilinum. Perhaps an accidental selfing of HF could give this much petal length and twist in a flower like this. It does have some resemblance to Paph Spaghetti (HF x philippinense). Otherwise I'd have to wonder if parishii was in there somewhere.

 

[Ozpaph]

who would make such a weird hybrid, anyway?
Can you show the label, please?

 

[troy]

 

[Ozpaph]

Thanks. Where did it come from?

 

[troy]

Lucky girl orchids

 

[Ozpaph]

I doubt they were the originators.
'Japanese Doll' name has been used by Takano and Kimara - I cant find who they work for so you can find the original list to confirm the cross.

 

[troy]

I doubt the tag is right

 

[Ozpaph]

I suppose that 4-5 flowers on the spike make dayanum less likely

 

[troy]

Like you said also, the foliage isn't mottled, it's very thick and kind of velvety

 

[SlipperFan]

I don't see dayanum, either.

 

[troy]

Dot, any guess what it could be?

 

[SlipperFan]

I don't know, Troy. My first impression was a dianthum or parishii cross.

 

[valenzino]

maybe a misspelling... guess can be:
Paph Henrietta Fujiwara "Japanese Doll" X dianthum "White River"

 

[troy]

That makes sense, valenzino

 

[Ozpaph]

that sounds better
