Paphiopedilum rothschildianum x sib (‘New Gigantic’ x ‘X Hot’ SMM/JOGA )

[Theodoreorchidking]

So this one is in sheath. The sheath is very flat. Im not sure if this is ok or not. Out of all the rothschildianum I have this is by far the beefyest/ robust. I have bloomed one other of the same cross and it does not look like the same parents were used as the plant characteristics are so different.

I honestly can't remember about my other roths but is the sheeth supposed to be flat? I'm not sure if this is ok or not

 

[Justin]

Roths often will put out multiple empty sheaths before the buds emerge.

O ya there she is!!!

The one thing I have noticed about this roth compared to the others is that is is a very robust plant that is larger than the others to have bloomed from Sam with a lower quality. I have high hopes for this as the plant has always stood out and just looked like it had good genetics.
