Paph St Swithin

[emydura]

First time I have flowered this plant. I got this as a large plant from Brad in 2015. The breeding is from Shen-Lu Orchids (Iweyshan). The pendulous petals have grown on me. I quite like it. It is a very vigorous grower. The new growths have much wider leaves so hopefully more flowers next time.

There are obvious similarities.

Mine also has Ivan's label in it. This is the 2nd time this plant has flowered although the first time it has flowered successfully. Brad said the flowers aborted on the first flowering.

Any roths coming, David?

Any roths coming, David?

None at this stage. I have a couple that may flower this season, though hard to tell. There is still time. If they don't, I should flower a few next season.

Do you have any yourself?

I cut 2 this week. Have 2 more in advanced spike.

Excellent. Do you have photos of the two you cut? Or are you going to post them altogether?

 

[SlipperFan]

David, your St. Swithin is excellent. Great dorsal & stance. I like it a lot.

 

[Ozpaph]

Here they are - nice colour but a bit small. I wasnt going to post them (not too special) Sorry if this hijacks your thread.

Thanks for posting the photos Stephen. No need to apologise. Always worth posting a roth in my view no matter what. I have one seedling with 'Purple Dream' as a parent, so I find it of interest. Did these plants go through quarantine? If so, this may explain the flowers small size.

 

[Ozpaph]

Yes, but well established now. Only one growth + start, though.

For emydura: Normally I'm not much of a 'hybrid-man', but I must say: excellent clone. very nice flowers, stunning sepals. Your culture makes you proud! :clap:

Wow a stunner if there wasn't a lable to the plant I'd have said it was a Vera pulchellum.
Just everything about the flowering stunning, the colour the petals the dorsal just wow. The plant looks amazing and more than vigorous, ashore its not on steroids lol.
If there was a chance of buying woken I'd be there in a flash.
Congrats lovley bloom and plant

That is an excellent clone David. Fingers crossed for a stronger blooming on the next go-around.
Nice roths as well Stephen.
