I wish I did. It's actually a division of Bill Porter's plant. I don't remember seeing parents on his tag, but I'll double-check next time I'm at his greenhouse.
Bill told me he was going to self his. I'll tell him what you said to encourage him to do that. Thanks!hi dot,
that's a very nice Paph. stonei ,this is the old classic type of stonei
nowadays extinct in the wild.
the plants of Paph. stonei that are being imported from Asia nowadays
are just a faint shadow from the plant that you show here today.
The new Paph. stonei lack the fine colors in the flower overall
and have only 1 or 2 flowers per stem the old one can produce up to 6 flowers
so if you have a chance self it , because it's worthy to be propagated.
happy orchid growing from Northern Thailand

I put it in the Michiana OS show this coming weekend. We'll see...
It's a division. The last (and first) time it bloomed for me was March of 09. So it took about a year an a half for a new growth to mature.
Thanks, everyone. I'm pleased you validate my love of this flower.

Very Nice! I have some hybrids of stonei growing well, so with your picture for more encouragement, I think it's time I had the species too!

Yes, Mark. Stonei is a big plant! Not as big as some Phrags I have, but it's big.
It's worth it!Very Nice!

Dot,
since you didn't mention the stonei, I'm assuming it wasn't awarded. Did it get pulled?

I don't know -- I only got called about the Vipanii. I had a bunch of plants in the display -- I expect to find out more tomorrow (Monday).

I don't think it got pulled, but it did get a blue ribbon.
Hmmm -- interesting. The mother plant (Bill Porter's) finished blooming a couple weeks ago, and has thrown another spike. Must be in it's genes.

Huh??
I'm talking about the blue ribbon vs. a flower quality award. That plant/flowers deserved better.

I don't have OrchidWiz. What does it say about other stoneis that have been awarded. Maybe the recent awards have lots more flowers?

I don't have OW either Dot but I seriously doubt there are large #s of stonei's with more then three

Yes, I agree that must be very close to award quality. The dorsal is perfect.
I have seen stoneis from Taiwan with as many as 5 flowers. I've always wondered how important flower count is in the judging process. Will plants get disqualified immediately if they don't have 4 or more flowers on a spike, irrespective of how large and well proportioned the flowers are? That would rule out a lot of my plants as I often only get 3 flowers.

The norm is not 5 unless someone set a new standard while I was out!
