Paphiopedilum Angela - A seedling with potential?

[Slipperphotographer]

It's only a tiny seedling right now, and I had to cut the spike as soon as the flower opened, but I think it has potential. Love the vividness of the pink, and the rounded shape. It'll be a while now until it blooms again, but I'm already looking forward to what it produces next time it flowers.

Is that Oceanside/Sunsetvalley breeding?

I think that has great potential. I would love that in my collection and also think crossing it would be a great idea

I have the pollen... just waiting for the perfect partner!

Beauty! What size is the flower?

Petite! 2 inches across at most. Strangely after I cut the spike I expanded more into more of a fairrieanum shape.

It surely is a flower with potential. I really like the color. Just an FYI, Paph. Angela is not a very good breeder. It tends to yield infertile seed.
