I would love to have some, but never seen it offered.

Anyone have seedlings, or making efforts to remake this in the US??

In general I think we need another pink cross like a hole in the head, but that is actually very interesting.
Can't help as this is the first I have ever heard of it.

I'd be interested. But with some Delrosi being reluctant bloomers from the roth parent, maybe that's why we don't see this cross much.

Maybe use instead (st swithin x delenatii) x viet. Or even better st swithin x (viet x hang).

I have both in sheath. If they are of sufficient quality, and fertile, I'll remake it.

I think philippinense tends to "ruin" the color, especially with pink parvi hybrids.
I wonder if it helps ease blooming because from what I heard, philly x parvi I isn't any better bloomer than roth x parvi.
It's the whole multi x parvi/brachy thing, I would say.

Great!!!
If you remake this grex, sign me up for a flask.

Keeping my fingers crossed!

It's nice but roth is a reluctant bloomer and viet is a short lived bloom so...

Beautiful flower! Now to find a Delrosi that blooms.....

:clap:

I agree -- stunning flower. Very different and desirable.

Tom, I think you already cracked the code on that one. The two Paph. Delrosi you sent me in May of 2013 are blooming fools. I hope you kept some.

The registration details for that grex are incorrect. My wife (Đồng Thị Luận) was the originator and I the registrant but not to worry. It was the first cross my wife made and processed through to flasking.

We've recently remade the cross with the same parents and what I think are better parents. A much better bloomer than Delrosi.

Cool.
