Paphiopedilum rothschildianum "Grand Rond"

[Fabrice]

A plant from flask "TN-Queen x TN-Tiger" I bought in 2007. It should bloom 3 years ago but it aborted.
So, it's the 1st bloom for this plant. I cut the 4th bud because I saw the 3rd was already smaller and I supposed the plant was suffering (It has just a small new growth)

28cms and 6cms cms dorsal. Good for a 1st bloom. It will probably bloom more 30cms on a mature plant.

Pictures by my friend André. Thank you.

Fabrice, should it be "Grand Round"??

 

[Fabrice]

Yes that's right, but in french, it's "Grand Rond".

I have several clone with english name (Tiny Zebra, Dark Passenger, etc...) because I like the english "sound". But the french "sound" too, so I decided to give it a french name.
