Paph Lady Isabel

[emydura]

John has great plants; as evidenced by his orchid of the year!

Absolutely. Most of my best stuff comes from him. It has been a while since I have bought any slippers off him though. He doesn't seem to have a lot available these days.

Superb quality!

 

[Trithor]

What a beauty! Stately well marked dorsal and great petals. Wow that is a superb clone.

Magnificent Lady Isabel --- hope mine turns out as good as this one.

Lady Isabel is one of my favorite multi-hybrids. This one certainly tells me why!

 

[paphioboy]

That's a very good lady isabel with nice petals.

No I don't know the origin. I got it off John Robertson many years ago now. He had flowered it once and said it was the best Lady Isabel he had ever flowered. So I grabbed it...

Isn't petty larceny illegal where you are!?

I remember your last posting of this plant David three years to the month (I cheated, I looked it up) At the time I mentioned patience. Who would of guessed! Three years later! Oh man how time slips away so easily these days.
Oh off topic back to the plant, Its a beauty with three even if you would like it sharper. Do you remember the last time? 4 flowers but ugly petal stance? Apparently, you will still have to be patient for 4 flowers and beautiful petals. With any luck not 3 yrs. of patience!

The last time I flowered it only had 4 tiny leads which have taken a few years to mature. So I have another 3 growths that are FS or NFS so the wait won't be so long. To get more flowers I need to increase the size of the growths. When I got the plant from John Robertson, the two growths were enormous. My follow-up growth have been no where near as big and the unflowered growths won't be any bigger. Maybe it would help if I move to that tropical Queensland climate.

 

[SlipperKing]

Or you could sent it to tropical Texas!

I think John could grow paphs anywhere!
