Paphiopedilum Rosy Dawn

Awesome job growing it. I love these. Rosy Dawn has been on my want list for some time

Thank you for all your congrats!



I have this plant for about 12 years now. I bought this Paph from a local nursery, that produces for the flowermarket. I found a tag in an other Paph from the same gardener. It is a tag from Rod McLellan, South San Francisco! So I think the plant could be about 40 years old, because it is an old nursery.

Paph Rosy Dawn was registered in 1935, which would mean that your division most likely comes from a plant at least 74 years old. I don't believe that Rosy Dawn was remade. There is no need to remake it as it is such a prolific plant when grown so well as you have grown it! :clap:

Very impressive. Mine only had two blooms. I'll need to show my plant the photo of yours.

Lovely -- and a very happy plant.

What a beauty! Must be nearly prefect growing conditions for such a great display!

Rosy Dawn is made and registered by Aberconway. Does anyone know, whether Aberconway worked for Rod McLellan (because I guess this plant is from Rod McLellan)?

You have every reason to be proud of that plant! Wonderfully grown and flowered.

OMG! I was proud about my one bloom, now I know what to expect in 10 years - if I am lucky enough!

Continue to give it good care. It's become possibly a heirloom plant. Very few people have a chance of owning such a potentially old and beautiful treasure. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Very nice! It would be great to grow a specimen like that one.
