Thanks for the nice comments everyone...

David, this is actually a plant I got from Florafest when they still had Paphs in their catalogue... it's Paph lowii 'Select' x self.

Crikey, a Paph from Florafest that matched its label. Bonus.

A genuine plant to label combination. I think I need to lay down.

UPDATE: I took this plant to Species Orchid Society of NSW meeting last night and a couple of the judges had some doubts as to it's label...

can anyone see any Paph haynaldianum influence on this?

A very nice lowii, I like it. On eBay it is a lowii to sell and it is written Paphiopedilum lowii sulawesi form. Is it existing other forms and which are the differences on the point of vue form, color and culture mode? Many thanks in advance for these informations.

Imho no, I can't see any other influence neither of P. haynaldianum nor of any other species in this P. lowii flower.

Just looks like a straight lowii to me as well. I can't see any haynaldianum in it.

Were these judges Paph growers? I onced benched a normal looking sukhakulii and judges agreed it was a wardii hybrid. I nearly fell over. I lost a bit of faith that day.

Tim, tell them they're dreaming. If it did have P.hayn' in it, it would be a P. Toni Semple and thats not a Toni Semple. And thats from an AOC Judge, me.

I have to agree with all others....straight lowii and nothing else.

Thanks Rudolf, David, Roy, Rick... I was a little stunned at proposition that this was anything but lowii in it when i was told... esp when the reasons given as to it having haynaldianum was the 'size of the flower', ie not being big enough compared to the American FCC's; and the arrangement of the spots on the petals seemed like there was a haynaldianum influence.

My biggest question is really, where did all the haynaldianum spots on the dorsal go, if this had that species in it?

 

[SlipperKing]

haynaldianum spots on the dorsal is normally a dominant feature in a cross, so you have a lowii

Basically Tim, the Judges who made those comments have no idea. Slipperking is correct with the spotting and the size of flower compared to AOS FCC's is rediculous, they're reading too many books.
