Paph. Mean Bob

[SlipperFan]

Prime Child x sanderianum ‘Adoribil’

 

[abax]

The name cracked me up. Who's mean Bob? The bloom does sort of look
mad as in hands on hips petal stance.

Lovely photos Dot. I like this a lot! The colours are attractive and a bit different, nice broad petals with good presentation. Looks a bit more like Mean Mustard!

I love !

 

[Hera]

Funny name but its actually a beauty!

 

[Ozpaph]

very unusual in the 'honey' tones

 

[MaryPientka]

love it!

 

[NYEric]

Not bad.

 

[tomkalina]

Charming! Not mean at all.....

 

[PaphMadMan]

That is SO much nicer than Oberhausens Diamant. Still shows some cochlo influence, but that dose of roth gives it some dignity. I'm not a fan of gigantic multiflorals, but I could find room for this.

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Quite nice

 

[SlipperKing]

Fantastic pouch on this clone. Its nice that it will hold 3 flowers open at once as well.

Nice...I will buy this one!

Thanks, everyone.

I don't know who Mean Bob is, but the cross was registered by B. Thoms in 2008. I'm sure there is a story here...

I love it!!! That's "Mean" in a good way!

Dot's 2009 thread featuring this plant contains the story behind the name. I think it's on page 2.

Thanks Scott, cool story. And Dot, lovely flower, plant and photo. Is it a good grower for you overall and do you remember where you got it.

Yes -- from Thanh Nguyen, Springwater Orchids in Florida.

Thanks, Scott -- I had forgotten the story you told in my earlier thread. I'll remember it now.

Thank you Scott. I love these orchid name back stories. They're almost
always funny and good-natured.
