Paph. Hung Sheng Tango

[tomkalina]

(leucochilum x anitum) - in bud this morning. Looking for a dark, well patterned flower. This is a first bloom seedling, so hoping for multiple flowers when the plant gets bigger.

Sounds like it could be pretty cool.

Looking good!!!

we cant wait a week!

And here's the finished product. Opened fairly quickly, probably due to increased greenhouse temps, and darker flowered than I expected given the color of the bud. Paph. anitum is proving to be an awesome parent.
