Paph. Wossner Tigerhenry

[Drorchid]

I love how colorfull this primary hybrid is! As the name says, it is a cross between Paph. tigrinum and Paph. henryanum. The plants are much more vigorous than either parent.

[Hera]

Very nice. You could almost mistake it for a "super henry".

 

[papheteer]

Very nice outcome!

 

[Trithor]

Very nice. I suspect crossed back onto Henry will create a few taxo problems.

 

[Ozpaph]

spots are good.

 

[mrhappyrotter]

I like it. Beautiful flowers and that's a terrific primary.

 

[SlipperKing]

How's the culture requirements on this hybrid?

 

[Scott Ware]

Very nice. I suspect crossed back onto Henry will create a few taxo problems.

Oh yes, I think you have a point. With the improved color and form contributed by the Paph. tigrinum several generations back, there could eventually be a grex of Paph. henryanum worthy of joining those flat-dorsaled Paph. spicerianum and the tubular pouched Paph. godefroyae along with others in the circle of so-called line bred super species (but with help from mystery ancestors).

[emydura]

That is nice. What size is the flower?

 

[Leo_5313]

Very neat!

Arround a year ago there was a henryanum on a local show which I did not believe to be a henryanum. The judges did not see anything wrong with it, even though its size fell well outside the limits for a henry, and its shape was sort of 'off'. I never considered this hybrid, but now I am even more convinced.

Hitting the nail on the head big time!

Sorry, but I made this cross years ago, and we only had about one or two dozen plants. This is the only one left from that cross :-( But I definitely will remake it!
