I assume this would be phili x malipoense? Nice petals but I think the flower is a bit cuppy, from this angle.

Nice colour and markings. Yes, a bit cuppy. Maybe that will improve when it's older? The photo angle is odd, though. We're looking up it's chin. Do you have a photo from "face on", where we can see the staminode?

Its probably too cuppy for a straight on PIC John. I'm curious why is the flower more yellow for a mal X philly primary? It has more of a hangianum pouch for me

Very nice looking markings!

roth X mali.
Its pouch is too up!

I was thinking it looked like a hangianum pouch too. And where does all that yellow come from with those parents?

Well that is Howard Koopowitz then, not Wossner Philimal . Seems a lot of yellow for Harold Koopowitz. It seems to have hangianum in it as Rick says.

Whatever, it is a wonderful flower. I'm not as critical as the others. I wish it was mine.

Very large and round pouch. Quite yellowish in color. Overall a very nice form

Nice color and petal width. Hopefully on subsequent bloomings the pouch will drop into position better and the dorsal flatten out more. Good enough that I certainly would keep it to evaluate again the the future. Very nice potential you have there.

To the question of background color. The background color in rothschildianum is more of a pale yellow than white. Mont Milais is the roth used with a fairly bright nearly white background. Majority of other clones of rothschildianum have a more ivory to fairly strong yellow background. (a little less yellow than praestans, but definitely yellow). So yellow can come in part from the rothschildianum parent. Most paphs like malipoense with green backgrounds also have yellow pigments in with the green. So what you see is the yellow potential of both the roth and malipoense in combination, also you see the rothschildianum suppressing the expression of the green.

I'n sorry but every H. Koopowitz I looked at on the web have veining in the pouch, most with color some without but all show malipoe influence. Where are the veins?

According to personal opinion, the flower color depends on its parents.

Sorry, the flower had been cut, I did not carefully observe.
