Paphiopedilum Carolyn Butcher

[Erythrone]

I love its staminode

 

[SlipperKing]

Damn nice flower!

 

[Paphluvr]

In looking for its parentage I found several sources that listed it as a primary hybrid. When did Paph. Fanaticum become a species? Lovely none the less, and blooming at the same time as its look-alike, Magic Lantern.

Lovely… think it’s named after a judge in Rochester area?

There used to be a Carolyn Butcher as a member of The Michigan Orchid Society about 45 years ago. Don't know if she's the same Carolyn Butcher that this is named after.

Not the same I think.

I think fanaticum (with the lowercase F) is a naturally occurring primary hybrid and some might consider this as a species.
I don't think it is a species.

Indeed, it is.
