Paph. Krull's Worthy Web

[smartie2000]

It's Hsinying Web x Paph. charlesworthii
First blooming on this plant. I have three buds and two spikes. A two budded spike is new for me! It needs a few more days to open.

I got this one from Forestview Gardens and they got one awarded in Edmonton when I first joined the Orchid Society of Alberta in 2007. I've seen others and all of them have been dark! I hope the segments don't reflex, the non awarded ones did that.

It might go into the February show, it helps if everyone brings plants (small-ish city). I hope I can keep the blooms lasting for two months, that gets difficult for me unless it is a complex bulldog. Cool windowsill, lots of misting and not forgetting to water might help?

Very nice flower. I'm still waiting for mine to flower. Bravo!

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Lovely colors...I'm usually not that stoked about vinis, but this one's a winner in my book!

 

[Candace]

Yeah, great coloration.

I remember when FV got theirs awarded. Yours looks great!

Would you believe that we are the second-largest society in Canada?

Wow, very striking, especially with the paler pink of the staminode. I like it.

No I wouldn't have! There are many larger cities, interesting...maybe the larger cities have split up into several societies

Very nice flower. I'm still waiting for mine to flower. Bravo!

This one was tougher to bloom for me! But then all the growths shot spikes at once

Wow

Most vinis have some kind of warts/spots and hints of stripes, but this is about the closest thing I've seen to a solid smooth red paph.

I'm not very interested in hybrids in general, but this is an impressive flower.

Thanks for the comments. I think this is now my fav. vini in my collection, though I have very few.
Update photo, now the bloom expanded:

I need to do a dorsal rise dance or something as it is still slightly cupped over the pouch. I would photo it showing the dorsal, but then you can't see the pink staminode. Maybe it will rise as the other buds finish developing.

 

[Yoyo_Jo]

Wow! That is impressive! Love the rich burgundy color. :drool:
