Paph roebelinii x sangii

[ehanes7612]

well, after 3 years of waiting (and several trial and error concoctions by the flasker), I will be receiving these flasks tomorrow...now to see how they grow

I'm not really too sure how anyone can expect anything from a sangii cross.... but: may the force be with you!

yeah ..its the novelty of a sangii cross..definitely not gonna be pretty though

I'm not sure about the pouch or the dorsal but if the sepals remain the shape of roebelinii and the colours of sangii it might be an interesting hybrid.

 

[Shiva]

Why not try? I'm really interested to see the results.

 

[ehanes7612]

how else am i going to get my name on a grex?

 

[John Boy]

easy! Do a paphiopedilum canhii x topperii (album) ;0))

 

[ehanes7612]

u win p)but considering we cant get those (canhii) here in the states(legally) i would say they would be pretty difficult to germinate in the US..

 

[SlipperKing]

Most interesting cross. I hope they grow once out of flask.

New primary crosses are almost always worthwhile to make, if only to assess dominant and recessive characteristics of the parents.

 

[W. Beetus]

This should have an interesting result. I'll be watching this one.

 

[carrilloenglish]

Yes, that definitely will be a novelty cross.

good point

Hmm... Wasn't aware one could use those flimsy plastic tubs. Think I will give them a try.

Thanks for posting the photo.

Exactly! If sangii has recessive characteristics for form but dominant for color, then I agree it could be interesting.
I have a sangi x roth I got from Tom, it was a BS size plant, had it less than a year & sure enough here comes a bud ......
BLASTED and since then the plant has gone downhill. I've had no trouble growing a sangii seedling, my roths are doing fine but this cross has become a pain! but I'm not giving up!

exactly what ross said... also are those roots growing upwards in those photos? ive never seen a paph root grow straight up into the air in vitro

 

[eOrchids]

Like all comments, the turnout should be very interesting!

I, myself have a Paph. Geoffry Hands (sangii x roth).

yeah they are ...the growths are a little vertical, prob becasue of low light and the roots coming out are getting caught ont he lower leaves and sides of container...growing up..ive seen it happen before in other flasks...sukhakuli does it
