Paph. Hung Sheng Tango: Story of Impulse

[DrLeslieEe]

I bought this on a whim in bud from Ottawa show… what you guys think?

Parents are (godefroyae x anitum).

NS 11 cm
DSW 5 cm
P 3.5 x 7 cm




Name suggestions? Chocolate Crisp?

Fantastic color. Did it just open by chance? I think it might get a bit flatter still.

Yes just opening… let’s see how it matures?

 

[Ozpaph]

I'd be happy (if reasonably priced)

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Very novel look and great colors.

With the netting on the petals, how about 'Dark Web'!

 

[Murray F]

Very nice a good purchase

That is gorgeous! It will get flatter. I am looking at the red across the rim of the pouch.
“Blood Moon”
“Blood Diamond”
“Dragons Blood”

 

[lori.b]

I like it!

 

[Djthomp28]

Wow. That is gorgeous.

looks promising for sure love the pouch ... let's see how it opens...

was it merely in bud when you bought it?

 

[okiesarah]

I think it's very nice!

Yes it was in bud when I bought it. I saw anitum and thought similar to Rolfei dark colors. I was right lol. A lottery buy.

 

[richgarrison]

indeed... i was buying trios of all of Sam's and Fred Clarke's foray's into this space haven't seen a bad one yet... and great foliage!

please keep the 'evolving flower opening' photos coming.. we live vicariously through your experience!

A lottery buy.

Some of these anitum hybrids do turn out with very varied results (to put it mildly), but I reckon you've struck gold with this one, Leslie. Might have been a lottery buy, but now clearly a top prize win!

I come to think of white chocolate/strawberry or strawberry cream!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

I think it was CDN $45 aka AUD $50 or EU $30 or UK GBP 27 lol.

Good investment gamble I think .

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Jens, yes I agree I might have struck gold on this one. Let's see it open further. I will post tomorrow as Rich wants to track its progress (precariously I might add lol).

Every time I look at it, it reminds me of a chocolate banana split. Am I crazy?!

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Well here is today at NS 12 cm and petals 7 x 3.5 cm. Big flower!



Outside the dark web color looks like dark plum color.

What do you think about it now? Love it or list it?

 

[Linus_Cello]

love it (but you know that show is fake)

That was a steal. Nice!
