Paph spicerianum x haynaldianum

[emydura]

Here is an old hybrid, Paph Carnusianum, which was registered in 1891. I got this one off Roy. This hybrid is way better than I would have imagined. A small compact plant which puts on a great display with towering spikes. I'm happy with 3 flowers a spike as well. I can't get more than 3 flowers on my haynaldianum itself. Overall this hybrid is a winner. Thanks Roy.

Very , very nice. Either for the genus Paphiopedilum or Cattleya I often wonder why the former hybrids are not remake using the very beautiful clones selected that currently exist.

Stunning display. I love it! Great photo -the first one!

Stunning. I'm patiently waiting for my alba philippinense to flower so I can put some spicerianum pollen on it to remake Paph Astraea. But it looks like I have to try the haynaldianum cross as well. That is a spectacular plant with stunning flowers! Good growing.

You're right about that David, "Way better then expected". Low expectations is probable the driving force behind the reason really old crosses aren't re-made. In addition there is too much "new" stuff out there to revisit the old stuff for hybridizers.

Great primary and clone you have! What a blooming.

It is a co-incidence you found this now as it is in flower again with 3 spikes. I would have posted a photo yesterday but it is currently sitting at our autumn show and I will get it back later today. One of the judges said "that is way better than I could ever have imagined".

Waiting for those photos - green with envy!!!

That's pretty spectacular. Now the question is where can I get one !
