Paphiopedilum rothschildianum

[JPMC]

This is my biggest paph.: it's 28 inches tall and 40 inches wide. The flowers do not conform to the line-breeding standards that are popular now (they're only 9 inches across), but this plant is at least 20+ years old.

That's a stout looking plant and still great flowers:clap:

Given the age is this a collected plant? Could be a good one to get its genes into the next generation.

Beautiful! In my book, a roth is always a roth.

No, it's not a jungle-collected plant. It's 'Krull Smith' x 'Excelsior'.

The drosals are very tall and the bloom has great overall shape.

i like this roth every time you post it. i actually kind of prefer these older open-shaped form roths to some of the new breeding.

would be interesting to cross it to a large, full-form Val x Mont Millais to get some variety back into that gene pool.

I'm so jealous. It looks so healthy and the blooms are nice.
