Paph. rothschildianum

[lienluu]

First bloom plant originally from the Orchid Zone. I don't have the cross as I lost the label years ago. I had high hopes for this plant as the five buds were developing. Now that the firs two buds have opened i'm quite disappointed

Are you disappointed enough to mail it to me? :wink:

Cause I quite like the shape, markings and color.

 

[Ozpaph]

Its nice but I see what you mean; reflexing in the dorsal, narrow petals and not great colour.

 

[Wendy]

I'd bloom it a second times to see if it improves. Nice flower count for a first time bloomer but the quality could be better.

disappointing...5 flowers is great though. I'm betting if you flower a couple more clones you will find better quality.

Notwithstanding any shortcomings, tough to not like a blooming Roth with 5 flowers.

 

[Fabrice]

Not dark color but number of flower is good. What is the flower size for each clone?

 

[SlipperFan]

Why does it have to be dark? This is lovely, and an unusual pouch color. If you don't want it, I'd be happy to have it!

 

[My Green Pets]

Me too! Plus...first bloom seedling...can only get better, right?

 

[Stone]

reflexing in the dorsal,

Reflexing?

 

[emydura]

I quite like the colour but the form is a little disappointing. Five flowers is great first up though.

 

[Ozpaph]

Reflexing?

furling, curling, bending backwards. The bottom flower on the top photo shows it at the base of the dorsal.

I would set it on the driveway then run it over back and forth, while yelling i at it!!!! Piece of crap roth die!!! Lol...

 

[C. Rothschild]

Yeah it's not dark but the stripes look cool.

Is this plant greenhouse grown? I wondering why the spike is growing in a way uncharacteristic of most roths. All plants not just roths benefit from a stable environment. The light source could give rise to a strange spike growth and consent source of moisture/water will allow the flowers to expand to their fullest potential.
