Paph Sierra Bell x bellatulum

[GaryB]

I sent this guy off to the Wisconsin Orchid Society show last weekend and he came home with a first place ribbon. The petals are not wide enough and the overall size is a little small to be awarded, but I like the shape and love the pattern of fine spots.

Sierra Bell is the hybrid of Sierra Lace and bellatlum and was registered in 2002, surprisingly originator unknown. It's 56% bellatulum,25% godefroyae,and 18% niveum.

From the images I found, Sierra Lace looks to have somewhat wavy petals. The cross to bellatulum gave it a better rounded shape.

Originator is most likely Nick Tannaci or Orchid Zone.

Originator is most likely Nick Tannaci or Orchid Zone.

The plant, Sierra Bell x bellatulum, was purchased from Nick, so I assume if he was the originator of Sierra Bell, it would have gotten registered.

It was registered 5/7/2002 by J.L.Fischer O/U, according to RHS.
