No one has ask so I will. Are these plants from the same seed pod?

Yes, these two are from the same seed pod.

I bought the smaller flower one when it was in bud. I am not satisfied about its size and shape when it opened, so I went to the nursery to find a better one. There are more than 50 wilhelminiae were in flower in that nursery, some are very dark in dorsal, some are very round, some are very big, and some have very horizontal petals, it was very hard to make decision because I can not buy them all. Finally I picked this big one, but never expected it will be thought as a hybrid, haha. I will take more photos and share to you here to show more details, because sometimes we can not identify a species just from one photo, right?

Huge potential for breeding. Parent x self? I would buy a flask.

It was from Hung Sheng Orchids, maybe it is Paph. wilhelminiae 'Bear' x sib.

There are around hundred of Wilhelminiae clones blooming at Yang-ji, they are all above average in my opinion, don't know if yours and yang-ji's come from the same origin.

If you can post photos of a few of them that would be great.

That 2 species crossed produced a lot of variance in the flowers (as you say) does make me thing about it being a pure species.

Yes, as I know, Yang-Ji's wilhelminiae are also from Hung Sheng Orchids. Lucky to me that he did not pick this one and gave me the chance to got this one.

Curious, how much is he selling them for?

If you bought from the Taiwan International Orchid Show, yang-ji marked the price as TWD$1200, i.e. around USD$38. All are with spike coming out.

I have asked my friend to pick up 2 clones from Yang-ji for me.

Let's compare two plants and two flowers.
Hope these photos will be helpful.
Pity that I don't have Paph. William Ambler in flower now to make further comparison.

It looks great!!! Can you post a a side picture with the whole plant please? I like the pouch shape

Sorry for the poor image quality.

 

[Chien]

wow!
How big is the plant?

The square shape tile under these two wilhelminiaes is 40cm x 40cm, its a compact species.

 

[Chien]

The large, dark flower is beautiful, but I'm more interested
in the Inu...gorgeous dog...such a wonderful face. Someday would you post a photo of the whole dog?

It's a Shiba Inu, glad that you like it.

 

[Ozpaph]

If they are the same two flowers they look much more similar in these photos.

 

[GuRu]

Lovely dark colourated flowers - congrats.

 

[Spaph]

Late to the post, that is a very special clone you have there! Amazing.

 

[Stone]

Lovely thing.

Thats a very fair price for here in Canada. In fact we would pay tgat much for nbs.
