Paph Susan Booth 'Paracombe' FCC/AOC

Some of the AMs and even HCCs are a little surprising to me given the high bar of roths these days.

List awards rothschildianum&type=1&Pag=0

I will say the roth Q'lander is spectacular and definitely FCC material if you ask me. If I recall it is 'Borneo' x self. My Borneo clone is in bud right now. (First time I will bloom this particular division I picked up just a couple years ago, as my first division died.) If it turns out to be true to label maybe I will buck the current trend and self it.

(Edit I can't get the link to work but David's original link above has an option to see the list of all awards for the species.)

I don't disagree with you Justin. A lot of those roth clones are not anything special. We are a bit behind here I think. Growers are now starting to flower roths from better breeding, so I expect we will start to see higher quality roths awarded in future.

Yeah not intending to throw any shade

. And nothing takes away from any award.

It has been cool to see some of the stellar plants you are growing and your advancement over all these years. I wish I had your skills!
