Paph. rothschildianum ' Rex x Mont millais Fcc/Aos'

[LO69]

I grew these up from a flask bought many years ago. Have a couple more that made a single flower so I did not include them in the pic.

 

[LO69]

Ops...forgot the pics!

Donate a picture of the same grex. I deflasked it more than twenty years ago. OZ 2135.

I bought mine from an Australian vendor which honestly I don't remember the name.

My mm x rex, older pics, before full opening, 2008.It is a nice plant now, but never bloomed again till this time.

 

[NYEric]

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

We should make this an ongoing roth thread for the season. Mine are a little late this year but have maybe a half dozen in bud or spike. My MM division will be the first to open in a couple days. I expect more to flower through June.

 

[Ozpaph]

They are very Rex.

Ivan’s orchids, Atian Tsai, Nicky Zurcher, Dieter Wiese ( Dark Star orchids)??

Was the Rex x MM cross made multiple times? Are the plants you have all shared started around the same time?

Good job from flasks!

Nice to see comparisons of this cross.

Karp, Sorry but none of the above names make me help remembering the vendor, he was at the time only selling flasks no plants/seedlings.
It was at least 20 years ago.

Jim I have no info on the breeding of this batch,
In- charm and Dodidoki's plant look a Little different from mine. In-charm said he made his 20 years ago and mine Is at least that age maybe some more.

Thanks LO, looks like they’re all around from 20 yrs ago or so, so far. Great to see the comparisons. I have a Rex x MM around 24 in LS that I was told needs a few yrs to bloom, looks like the cross was made again at a later time or I have a really slow grower.

Lovely roths.

So are you still in Australia? Strange time of year to flower these if you are.

Oh no!! I'm from Italy. Australia Is where I had got the flasks from.

None of mine did flower on single vegetation they took their time and waited to be clumped.
In the first years, as seedlings/ small plants they were a very slow growers.
Have one plant from the same flask that differs from the other being much smaller and compact almost like a miniature Roth I'm very curious to seeing its flowers as for now It never bloomed. Will put a pic of It for comparison.
