Paphiopedilum Graham Robertson 'Elk #1'

[kman]

I just love primary hybrids, and these are two of my favorite parents: sukhakulii and henryanum. Just opening up on a sunny and warm January day here on the NorCal coast:

Nice outcome! It's a great hybrid. From what I can see, it also has lovely foliage, too. Seems like a winner to me.

Very nice. Named after Graham Robertson, who owned Robertson Orchids here in Australia. His son John currently runs the nursery.

Very nice outcome. As soon as I read “primary hybrid” I could guess the parentage, I just had them in the reverse order.

Very cheery looking!
