Paphiopedilum rothschildianum

[Djthomp28]

This one is from Orchid Inn and was purchased in 2019. The tag reads 'Black Diamond' x 'Atticus' AM/AOS, B/WOC'.

Unfortunately, the flowers got a little too sun kissed aka they got sun burned - longer story for a different post. The sun damaged caused the waviness of the middle flower and bleaching of the bottom flower. All in all, I am looking forward to the potential. This the second blooming. The first blooming was a single, reflexed flower.

The dorsal looks pretty wide...some improvement potential for sure.
It is good to have a roth in the collection, especially a blooming one! What I really like about yours is the plant size, not too big, unlike some of the monster-sized crosses.
