Paph Pink Atlantis

[Ross]

Pink Atlantis = Atlantinet x Blanche Sawyer. I bought this one from Orchids Limited a year or so ago.

That's pretty, Ross. Are you going to breed with it?

Very spunky.

That's real nice Ross, as always your blooms are the best..... Jim.

Sweet! Love the color!

I don't mind this one at all, very much like my P. Molantis. Definitely worth trying for pinks. A dose of P. delenatii would do the trick very well.

My thoughts, exactly! It may require some patience and several attempts as this is a second or third generation FC Puddle hybrid, which generally has trouble with fertility as one moves further from FC Puddle itself.

Nice spread of spotting and I like the flat dorsal presentaton as well. I guess delenatii will spread out he spots for an even pink color?

Ross, from the little experience I've had with breeding white and pink Paphs with F C Puddle background but others that are hard to breed with, I've found better results using the pollen from the hard one onto an easy to breed with parent. I haven't used delenatii but it might be worth a try both ways if you can.

I did try a cross onto Paph Pink Atlantis and within the week, the pod failed.

I like it!

Nice flower Ross, I am a huge fan of the pinks! Doug

 

[biothanasis]

Great flower!! Unusual and interesting colour!

 

[labskaus]

Very nice flower, Ross!

You've got a Ho Chi Min handy as well? I keep wondering what this will do in breeding compared to straight delenatii.

Interesting idea.
