Paph rothschildianum ('Leo' SM/JOGA x 'New Horizon' FCC/AOS) first blooming

Well it certainly has lots of potential!
Good sepals with clear markings. Petal width seems nice. All that remains is for it to gather strength and get the flower count up.

So far, the nicest offspring of ‘New Horizon’ I’ve seen. Outstanding color and nice wide segments! Please update us on the dimensions once it’s finished expanding. Where did you get the plant?

 

[Ozpaph]

well that is good. Sam's cross if im not mistaken.

 

[emydura]

That is seriously nice. Fantastic colour. Looks a compact plant too.

 

[dmcmkl]

It is Sam's cross. It is also compact for a roth. I'm glad it is growing that way because I am seriously cramped for space.

 

[Royal Rea]

Great potential, next flowering should be great on a bigger plant.

This one is a winner!

 

[Tony]

That's a keeper, nicely done!

It’s beautiful! There’s just something about a Roth…

I think the first bloom is finished opening. Here are the measurements:
- lateral petals 22cm
- dorsal 6 cm
- ventral 6 cm

I'll check again in a couple of days to see if any have changed.

Decent DW for a first bloom. These measurements will all improve as the plant gets bigger.

Nice balance of dorsal mirroring the synsepal.
