Paphiopedilum Michael Koopowitz x Saint Swithin

[vandacee]

Where is this from?

It comes from Asendorfer, German grower. Bought in 2010.

It could be along the lines of this; Paphiopedilum gigantifolium 'Hsinying' x Lady Isabel. This cross is reaching blooming size in other's hands.

Absolutely stunning! I have yet to see of my Michael Koopowitz bloom, never mind my sanderianum because both are still quite small after 2 years. I wish that one day I have something as beautiful as this!

I can see why others are saying what they are saying, but I don't see any reason to doubt the tag.
Given the parentage, it is perfectly possible outcome.

Whatever it is, you're lucky to have it. It's beautiful.

Response of Hilmar Bauch

Yes, that pictures shows an gigantifolium primary hybrid. I did check our breeding books from that time, we have had three different gigantifolium hybrids made around 2010, the most possible seems to be gigantifolium x supardii (picture attached), registered as Memoria Heinz Rengers. Your picture looks a little bit different, so the idea of stonei as partner is not wrong, maybe platiphyylum also. But that hybrids we did do recently years later and have them not in blooming size now. So the chance that I had some young plants labelled wrong seems high. I be you pardon for that. But your flowering plant is phantastic, good job.

There you go!
Good detective work paid off.

A very nice Paph Memoria Heinz Rengers!

Here is Paph Memoria Heinz Rogers. If your plant is the same cross as this, it is literally the best one in the world lol.

My thoughts exactly. I don't see supardii. Maybe Lady Isabel x gig?

 

[SlipperKing]

I think my first guess is more likely then the H Rogers. You sure you got it from the above mentioned vendor? Are the flowers on the "roth" size as in large? LI by gig has my vote.

I agree with gigantifolium x Lady Isabel or stonei.
