Paph. Shin-Yi's Pride 'Barbara Ann' AM/AOS

Michael Koopowitz x roth. I picked this up on ebay a couple years ago for a whopping 25 bucks. It's an old award (2004) but the flowers sure are impressive. Hopefully more next time.

At that price, it was quite the deal! I wonder why it sold for such a low price?

As much as I enjoy and appreciate Paph philippinense, I wish it wasn't so apt to wash out the pouch color in its hybrids.

That is the deal of the century. Very nice.

yes, I find philippinense turns the pouch more 'golden' (at best)...the reds are gone. I think this was someone selling something for someone, and it even came with the original whippoorwill tag (the award was given to the Larkins). Certainly a vigorous grower, two near mature new growths already.
