I like the overall fullness of it regardless. Lovely!

Very nice, Fabrice!

Good shape and color. If it's a first bloom, it will probably be bigger next time.

That is nice Fabrice. I'd be happy with it. It is certainly better than my first flowering. Nice colouring and full shape.

I've never seen a dorsal sepal like that on a roth before. What parent do you think that characteristic came from?
That's a keeper:clap:

Intense Fabrice! very interesting dorsal. If the picture is true, 'Green Valley' has a normal striped dorsal Rick
UPDATE I found 'Butterfly' and it's the same as 'GV' But both have a lot of color between the major veins.

Yeah it's almost reflexed, and has purple "flames" between the stripes. Kind of like you'd see on a faereanum or callosum dorsal.
Yes, The dorsal is very original for a roth and I keep this plant only for that.
For the name of parents, there are many doubts.
According to a friend, It would be rather a seedling from a wild colony. This kind of dorsal would be more characteristic.
But we will never know the truth...
Slipperking, is it possible for you to add photos of GV and Butterfly please? Just to see what is probably impossible, even if genetic is sometimes mysterious...

Fabrice I can try. They're in Paphs of Taiwan II book. I don't own a scanner but I'll will try.
Ok Thanks!
I think there's also "Dou Fong" in this book.
I have GV X Dou Fong in bloom (photos tomorrow) from Sam and it's maybe the same thing. The member Sanderianum told us it was not possible to have roths with Dou fong like parents.
I don't know what are the parents for mine but it's awesome.

OK, I photographed the PICs from the book. I tried to enlarge individual flowers of each but they're very grainy.
One picture of 'Green Valley'
Another Pic of 'GV'

Thank you!
First, with the 2 pics of GV, we could believe it's not the same plant because the flowers are very different...
After, Dou Fang is a wonderful collect roth, maybe better than Mont Millais.
Butterfly is also nice and seems to be similar to "Dou Fong".
But definitively, my roth is not from GV X Butterfly.

Yea, I wondered about the first 'GV'. It's not quite a full roth to me
