Paph (Winston Churchill x chamberlainianum) with thanks to Jim Blanford

[Ross]

I got a division of this in trade from Jim. The blooms are getting nicer as it adjusts to my culture. Jim still blooms it better, though.

My thoughts exactly! Very nice though.

Wonderful!!!

Yeah, Jim has an awesome cultivar from that cross. Looks a ton like WC, but is way more compact in plant size and I see it all year long at shows with a flower and a bud. Never seen both open at once though?

This is a division of Jim's plant.

I'm not very keen on these type of complex hybrids; but, the round dorsal and round petals are very eye catching. This is one I wouldn't mind having in my collection. It's very nice! Although, like goldenrose and e-spice, I would've never guessed that it had chamberlainianum as a direct parent.

Looks great Ross, here's what my guy looked like back in July....Jim.

 

[SlipperFan]

Good looking flower. Maybe I'm beginning to like these complex hybrids...

 

[SlipperKing]

It is an amazing outcome from this cross. I see evidence of spotting in the pouch and that super round dorsal without the wavy edges could be coming from victoria reginae.

Yep. I know. Someone needs to put a clonal name on that thing to keep track of the divisions (Jim, that means you).
