Paph Mount Hood

[CharlesD]

This plant is all credit to Teresa Hill. I am posting so everyone else can enjoy this flower but in no way can I take credit. She was kind enough to sell me this I when I visited a couple weeks ago. The cross is Shirokane x sunstone, it has been very cool that she got Shirokane to breed on.

I am surprised she sold it...It is a really nice white complex.

That is a really nice white complex Paph. Very nice form from the front. Can you post a side view? I would like to see how flat that flower is.

Wow! That is a gorgeous one!

Here’s a side view it’s pretty darn good. Petal width is 6.5cm, ns 12.6cm, dorsal width 10.2cm. If I can grow it well it should be on for a solid AM next year. Aside from that it’s just plain beautiful! @Tom-DE all the other ones with a big new lead had been pollinated. This one has a new start thankfully but not big enough for her to use so that might have helped! She was reasonable and open to selling a lot of things. Nothing like the stories you here about the orchid zone from the past
