very interesting, the diff. shape for the 3!!! I pers. go for #3!!! Jean

They're lovely! I really like the pouch on number 3, but I think overall #2 is my favorite.

and then? what's next? 3 has pretty good form - much like the gwenfair you showed before.

 

[TyroneGenade]

Wow! #3 is very nice. #3 is definitely as nice as the Honeycomb Creek or fairrieanum by itself. The color is far more even and homogenous, making for a nice symmetrical display. Also, good form. Wish it was mine.

I love number three!

 

[biothanasis]

Very beautiful and interesting all three of them!

 

[SlipperKing]

Three's mine!

 

[etex]

I love # 3 best,too! # 2 isn't far behind!! All are lovely blooms!!

 

[Shiva]

Good things come in three

All three are nice, but I also think #3 is more pretty.

 

[labskaus]

I too like #3 best ,even though #1 has the most vivid colours.

 

[toddybear]

#3 is a winner in my books!

 

[jblanford]

Yes I agree #3 is best, but I do like them all, thanks Ross...... Jim.

 

[SlipperFan]

I like #1.

Is there such a think as a bad fairrieanum cross???

 

[fibre]

Thanks for sharing! I always like the pictures with different clones of one cross.
Yes, #3 has the best shape in a common way of judging. But I like #1 because of its more characteristic flower, especially of its pouch and the shape of the petals. But the dorsal of #3 has the better patterns.

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

No doubt that #3 has the best form, but #1 and #2 have the better colors...all in all I'd have to go with #3, but #2 is not bad at all. Love the colors on these guys too!

 

[Mrs. Paph]

I like #3 best too - but wish it had the darker colors of the other two. Nice blooms!
