Paph. Lola Bird

[papheteer]

I was super amazed when I saw this opened this morning. The most impressive bloom for me so far! Super flat and huge flower! Too bad about the dorsal and weak stem. I can't seem to capture in photo how impressive it is in person. Bought 2 years ago as a small seedling from Orchid Inn.

Super nice flower, but I agree on ist shortcomings.

Looks nice!

It looks like a phrag, what is this cross?

 

[Ozpaph]

great roots too!

Beautiful plant and flower! I'd love to see results of this crossed onto a nice Fanaticum, Liberty Taiwan, ML, or really any other Parvi. Troy, Lola Bird is emersonii x micranthum.

It does have nice color. I think there is a good chance that the dorsal will look better in the years ahead, but stems don't seem to change much for me from year to year. Oh well, that's what wire supports are for.

Very Nice. Congrats. getting a Lola Bird to bloom at all is an accomplishment. Pretty hairy.

Yes congrats!

Great result for this cross. Good job getting it to flower.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! I don't find it hard or slow to grow. It's definitely one of the fastest in my collection. I have another in very low sheath. It has much darker foliage.

Lovely color and patterns.

 

[eaborne]

Oh wow, I like it!

Lola Bird is a real cutie. Be nice to her...it's her first bloom
after all and the colors are sooooo pretty.

 

[Kawarthapine]

Very nice healthy plant.

More proof in the quality of Orchid Inn stock.

A fast and easy Lola Bird is worth hanging on to no matter what. The dorsal could easily be better on another flowering. I'd be more concerned about the weak stem overall, but that could also improve on a bigger plant. Keep growing it well.

Love it. But it can be only in my dream coz my country is too hot for them.
