Paph roth 'Penn Valley' x 'Tenny'

[SlipperKing]

This post is for Justin. My largest roth, plant-wise. I would have to say this clone is from some very old hybridizing program.

 

[Justin]

Sweet! Killer old style roth!

 

[JAB]

Why is it an "old" style?

 

[SlipperKing]

You have a piece of this plant Justin.

Jab, This plant's flower presentation is so much like the common "wild-type" meaning back in the 60's or maybe earlier this style was the most common "look" out of a seed pod. From that only the hybridizer's best or dream plant were selected and crossed again. On and on this went until you have the roths of today

Old style elegance! :clap::clap::clap: Love it!

That is an amazing plant Rick. Beautifully grown.

 

[John M]

Well done!

 

[abax]

I'm old so the style suits me just fine. I like it...a lot.

 

[Kawarthapine]

Very nice.

Just starting to learn about these majestic beauties.

Nice to see some 'old school' plants alongside all the young upstarts!

Though, Commander, Rex and Mont Millais are wild collected.

Love the plant and love the flowers!

 

[Justin]

Ahhh...i thought that might be it. My div is doing well. I think this one has a great flower...

True but the word common is the key. These you mentioned are not in the common category.

 

[Ozpaph]

they certainly arent common!

It would be interesting Stephen to see PICs of 'Penn Valley' and 'Tenny'. This clone has the name 'Tamara' which came with it at the time of purchase.

[Justin]

Rick mine is still one growth but pretty strong...I hope someday I will grow it and bloom it as well as you are!
