Paph Oriental Spring ‘Grogu’

[MorandiWine]

This was exhibited today for judging but was screened. Big flower at 15.5 ns. Flat as a pancake. I didnt get the screen sheet but word is that they didnt like the petals and the synsepal is a little crooked. Oh well, cant win em all.

It's actually quite a nice flower. Good size, flat dorsal and awesome color.

I do see a couple issues for this flower (which can improve greatly in next flowering):

1. petals are a little narrow and not mirror images of each other
2. the pouch looks a little indented at bottom on the observer right (flower left) ...maybe camera angle?

I think the synsepal width is good and it was the pouch that threw it off. Maybe show a pic from back?

I am sure on the next flowering it will be rewarded nicely. Keep up the good job.

Clear as day, once you highlight it. Size is not enough with alba Maud types. It's like getting an award on a white Phal: no color seduction is possible, so form must be nearly perfect.

Clearly imperfect, thanks Tony. Fingers crossed that its better in 6 months when it blooms again.

great dorsal.
hopefully better symmetry next time
