A first flowering seedling from Taiwan. Only a small plant so it should get better. The flowers have been open a while before I first saw them so I'm not sure if the flowers were better when they first opened.


Paph rothschildianum '266' x 'Red'





 
You and Ryan have both flowered yours and mine are a year or two off blooming - cant wait. (code for its lovely and Im jealous!)

It seems a nice cross Stephen. It should be worth the wait. So you got a few? I bought two but the 2nd one was small and weak and ended up rotting.
 
Nice roth photos! I see a faint reddish stripe in the middle of the dorsal sepal. I have not seen this in a rothschildianum.

The blooms have flat dorsal, dark strips and red pouch. A nice one. Hope the dorsal would get more wide (round) in the next bloom.

Are you talking about the color on the back of the dorsal coming through in the PICs? I don't recall ever seeing red/maroon coloring on the back of a roth dorsal. What's your thought on that David?
