Paph Wizard of Oz 'Hauserman's Toto' cross ?

[cabnc]

I started trying to grow paphs last year. Purchased a few plants from a friend in Winston Salem, NC. I grow indoors under lights and have my first flower to show for my efforts.

But the irony, of all the plants, this one has no tag. My friend purchased the plants from Hauserman's in 2008 / 2009. They had tags and she recalls them being a cross with Paph Wizard of Oz 'Hauserman's Toto' or perhaps Paph Black Stallion ?

I have emailed Hauserman's and may still get an answer. But thought perhaps someone here bought the same cross(es). Thanks

BINGO - I have (Black Stallion x Joanne's Wine) x Wizard of Oz 'Hausermann's Toto', that's probably it, mine's in bloom now too, although they do look different shape wise. It was purchased fall '08 at the annual Chicagoland Orchidfest.

Thanks for the information. My flower has a ns of 4.5 inches. The dorsal is 2.25 in wide, 2 in tall. Your flower appears smaller but is much darker. My dorsal progressively lightens to pink/white at the top edge.

Thanks again.

It is smaller & doesn't want to open all the way. The plant is small so I've already snipped it & looks like I'll hold on to it & give it another chance.

Very dark, indeed.
