Paph. Raisin Pie

This is a sib cross between two Paph. Raisin Pie's. I like how the colors turned out.

There seems to be a neglected value in performing a sibling cross on certain hybrids. The best are often even better than the original cross.

That is certainly the case here! It's very nice. I like the leaves, also.

Your photo brings out some amazing spotting on the petals!

As the others wrote, nice shape and colours, plus a desirable plant- to flower size ratio. Great sib cross!
You know, these petals with the raised spots and the halo around reminded me instantly of an Agar plate with a bacterial culture. Weird.

[Bolero]

Lovely colouring, that is a great flower.

That is one of the things that caught my eye as well! I think in this seedling some of the sukhakulii genes (aka more horizontal petals) became more dominant.
