Paph. Macabre Illusion

[Spaph]

This is the first to flower of about a dozen different crosses I got in person at Lehua Orchids on the Big Island of Hawaii during the World Slipper Orchid Conference. Such amazing breeding, I can't wait for the other crosses to bloom. This cross is Paph. Hawaiian Illusion 'Saturatingly Lehua' AM/AOS x Macabre Contrasts 'Lehua Frank's Druthers' HCC/AOS

I, for my part, would rather own your clone...somehow I find the overall impression more harmonious!

Kind regards, Jens

I agree with that. But the rest of that awarded clone is incredible. What petals. This seems like a great cross.

Wow! Bewitched!

Imagine Spaph's flower with the petals of the awarded clone!!! :drool: :drool: :drool:
