Paphiopedilum rothschildianum Sam's Choice x MM Best

[Fabrice]

A sister plant of the wonderful "Lilimo" clone from my friend Paul. Not as good as but a nice one.

First bloom, dark color, 25cms and 5,5cms DS.

Wonderful...a really nice roth.

I have some from this cross and one is in spike...the buds are DARK!

The color is rather different on this clone.
I like the chocolate color of the pouch.

 

[blondie]

Very nice love the colour to this one.
Looks like a strong flowerer

Wow that is a super Roth. The dorsal is perfect and the color is amazing.

 

[Wendy]

What perfect colour!!!

 

[Ozpaph]

Is 'MM Best' a selfing of MM?

 

[emydura]

That colour is wonderful.

 

[Justin]

Yes.

Is 'MM Best' a selfing of MM?

yes it is!

And Sam's Choice is Rex x MM.

 

[calypso]

trop modeste, Fabrice , il est super celui là!

 

[Paphman910]

yes it is!

And Sam's Choice is Rex x MM.

Not so sure about that! I thought it was from 'Val' x 'Mont Millias' cross by TON.

 

[Fabrice]

Yes you're right. I was sure to see Rex in it but it's not! Sorry for this mistake.

I showed the picture yesterday to Sam. He replied me: "That is very good for a first bloom seedlings! If it is mine. I would keep growing. It will be SM or AM in the next bloom with 4 flowers. "

 

[Justin]

I think SC is Rex X MM.

Awesome flowers...my plant is just starting to open!

 

[Fabrice]

I found a 2007 listing when this cross was available in flask and Sam wrote "Val x MM".

But I just asked him to be sure. I will tell you more soon.

 

[Fabrice]

In fact, Sam's Choice is really Rex x MM.

Sam confirmed it to me just now.
