Paph. Hsinying Franz

[emydura]

First flowering seedling of Taiwanese breeding. Stoned Susan is Susan Booth x stonei so this plant is made up of -

rothschildianum - 62.5%
stonei - 25%
praestans - 12.5%

Initially I was a bit disappointed with the stonei dominated petal stance but it has grown on me. It should look really nice with 4 or so flowers. I love the colour on this one.The plant is only small so it should improve a lot on a stronger plant. I'm looking forward to the next flowering.

Very Nice; better than I would have expected given the parentage.

 

[atlantis]

Impressive plant and awesome photo, David (as always)

 

[SlipperKing]

The pouch is very stonei as well with all the veining in it. Looks nice to me.

I'm not multi guy, but I have to say I like this one.

 

[SlipperFan]

I have a Stoned Bernice -- I'd love to have a Stoned Susan and this Stoned Susan hybrid!

 

[ehanes7612]

love the veining..nice form too

 

[jimspaphs]

I like---good one.

 

[wjs2nd]

Love the color!!

 

[The Orchid Boy]

Very nice!

Just curious, how do you find out how much percent of certain species is in a hybrid? Can you just research the parents of the hybrid until you come up w/ species? So a P. Magic Lantern would be 50% micranthum and 50% delenatii. A P. (Magic Lantern x delenatii) would be 33.3% micranthum and 66.6% delenatii. Am I on the right track?

Math class

You are on the right track but your math is a little off. Start with your plant and it's parents:

A P. (Magic Lantern x delenatii) -- 50% Magic Lantern
l---50 % delenatii .

Each 'parent' provides 50%.

The next generation back the 50% Magic Lantern --- 25% micranthum
l-- 25% delenatii

while the 50% delenatii, being a species, gives --- 25% delenatii
l-- 25% delenatii.

Each 'grandparent' provides 25% -- in this plant delenatii is 3 of the 4 possible 'grandparents.

So your plant is 25% + 25% + 25% = 75% delanatii and 25% micranthum.

Cool blooms and pics!!!! Jean

 

[quietaustralian]

I'd be happy with that.

 

[Ozpaph]

love the spots/tessellations on the petals.

 

[Erythrone]

Wow!

 

[NYEric]

Very nice blooms, i like the dark patterns on the lateral sepals.

 

[annab]

you have always beautiful plant and nice flowering , my compliment.

[biothanasis]

Nice sturdy flowers!

 

[GuRu]

That's a lovely hybrid - I like those dark maroon patterns -on its shoe they look alike veins, on its petals they look alike chequered and they are stripes on its dorsal and synsepal. Great!

I read Charlie's response before I saw OrchidBoys question. I was thinking what the hell is Charlie talking about when he says my calculations are wrong and that they should include 75% delanatii and 25% micranthum. LOL

But yes, yoour calculations are right Charlie. Here is a family tree of Hsinying Franz. As you go back each generation the percentage input halves. Hopefully this diagram makes sense. If not let me know. When you start getting into these complex hybrids it is amazing the variation you can get. Stonei only makes up 25% of the genetic input but it has a far higher influence in terms of how the flower looks in this clone. Another clone can look entirely different again.
