Paph Shin-yi Tiger x Michael Koopowitz

[Nelson Wong]

I got this from someone on this forum little over 2 years ago. It last bloomed in 2022. When I received it, it had some damaged leaves, but strong root system. I just kept nursing it. 250 ppfd, 72-86F. Regular watering with fertilizer. And it finally bloomed. It had really long petals around 13-14 inch.

Based on the information I have this cross is registered in 2019.

I like this one a lot. The Paph. sanderianum influence is strong in this clone. I have a real preference for sanderianum looking flowers. Hopefully, as the plant matures the dorsal sepal will flatten some.

This is its... second bloom I think. the first bloom in in 2022. so I think this is as far as this one goes.

I plan I crossing this with a glycophyllum and a sander's pride, just to see what happens.
