Paphiopedilum rothschildianum ‘Lift Off’ AM/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

Many on here know this plant from EggShells, who has posted this many times on this site.

It has finally been awarded 87 points at last week’s monthly judging. As team captain I was happy to say that the scores were consistently high and it was a well deserved award.

Congrats to Andrew of Roehampton Orchids who bloomed it and to Ibn for keeping this amazing plant alive all these years.

Flowers were flat, dark and commanding.

Amazing! The flower’s presentation and color rely helps it exceed the fact that the dimensions aren’t as big as some recent awards. I’m also in awe of how well grown the plant is! Really shows you how important a nice clump is for a Paph to do its best. Glad that it is so well taken care of.
