Paph spicerianum

[littlefrog]

Not mine... I had to get back to my sales table and I thought someone was going to pull it for judging, but I guess I should have done it myself. Substantially bigger than most I've seen and has the most incredible substance I've ever touched. Almost feels like it is carved out of marble.
I have permission to grab the pollen and to self it for the grower, but I don't think I can without breaking off the pouch.

Looks and sounds interesting. Will the owner let you pull of the pouch at a later date, so that you can self it?

I will let him do it if he wants. I will put some pollen on my old (very old) clone and see what happens.

Nice flower, does the tag list the parent clones?

Not that I saw, but I'm told it was out of an Orchid Inn flask. So something Sam was using.

I have one like this beauty (Hercules post).

The problem with these is that any good spicerianum suffers the Bruno complex. Mine was passed because of such mistaken identity.

Too good...
