a very nice compact grower!!! Did you do the cross? Jean
No. I purchased these plants from Orchids, Ltd. I have, however, used them in a few crosses.

Very interesting flower, I think it has the best qualities of both species, esp. like the dorsal!

Ross, what did you cross with them????
I crossed what I thought was a drab Mary Zdilla with niveum. Subsequent bloomings have shown more color.
I also have seedlings of Mary Zdilla and (chalesworthii x Mem. George A Benedict)
Just got a very few seedlings of Mary Zdilla x Jennifer Ann Hella. The one used was the flower on the right.

The parts don't look like they belong together. Which is probably why I like it!
The first cross should bloom within a month or so, assuming the bud does not blast. The other two are at least one year a nd two years away from blooming.

Another nice Zdilla. Mine is in Agonizingly low sheath right now. Based on previous years, it'll stay this way awhile longer before swelling the bud and pushing up the stem. Mine is also from OL, and bloomed Really nice and with dark colors after I bought it in bud, but has been disappointing the last couple years I've had it in TX. I've been able to grow cooler here in OK this summer/fall, so I'm hoping it blooms out darker again

Thanks for clarifying about the finger...if you hadn't mentioned it, I would still be googling complex paph hybrids looking for that most unusual flower...
Back to reality - I love the colors on this cross - each flower part is unique, almost like someone came along and glued it together from totally different plants. Also, the habit of the plant to the left of the Mary Zdilla x Jennifer Ann Hella is just fantastic. I love dwarfed looking plants and that one is a trip! I'd grow it for the leaves alone. Lovely work!

Just to clarify, the dwarf plant is Paph Jennifer Ann Hella. It is the parent of seedlings make using Paph Mary Zdilla.

Exactly what I thought. It looks like an exul dorsal with barbigerum petals and a henryanum pouch!:rollhappy:

I love this! Interesting hybrid. Love the other photos too, it's always interesting to see what comes out of a new cross.
