Terrible! Send it to me right away. BTW, I'm composing a nasty-gram to US fishery and Wildlife today about their archaic CITES interpretation.

It looks like a Super Gloria Naugle!

That is awesome Olaf. I love the colours on this one. (and I typically dont like the multiflorals)

 

[Shiva]

Stunning beauty. :drool::drool::drool: So that's one for NYEric and one more for me.

Beautiful, is it a more rapid grower due to the use of St. Swithin? Or is it as slow growing as (rothschildianum x hangianum) ?

The (Parvisepalum group x Corypetalum group) hybrids are lovely when you get a good one, but often they are rather slow growing and have a high percentage of mis-shapen flowers.

Have you noticed which multi-floral parent gives easier growing results?

 

[Candace]

Now that is one HOT cross.

This hybrid grows better and flowers easier then the cross with Paph. rothschildianum, Paph. Alexej.

Me too. I wonder why the USFWS interpretation can't be challenged as restriction of trade under NAFTA. Either by the US vendors being restricted from trading in the Canadian legal orchids or the Canadians being locked out of the lucrative US market by the US's atypical interpretation. Oh well.

 

[Gcroz]

Wow... I'll be adding this to my wish list!!!
