Paph rothschildianum 'Pylo's Dark Spiders' HCC/AOS

[bigleaf]

I took two Paph rothschildianum to Dallas Judging Center. One got awarded 77 points HCC/AOS

These are from Hung Sheng breeding. I had 10 plants, bloomed out 6.

'Pylo's Dark Spiders' is the darkest color and form is good. Too bad it didn't have 4 flowers.

My plan was to take the one with four flowers - but its color isn't as dark as the one with three flowers.

25 cm NS, 14.0 cm NSV,
5.7 cm DS, 6.8 cm DS vertical

Hopefully next time this bloom I could get 4 flowers.

Thank you Eric

Very nice.
Interesting how the dorsal is so dark yet the base of the petals is quite light, unlike the TON dark clones.

Very nice. I'm enjoying seeing all of these roths...and pining for one!

Ooooo very dark and kind of menacing looking. I love the
dark red noses. Perhaps that's what Pylo likes too...dogs
and I have similar tastes.
