Don't write that like it's something negative! They are gorgeous Paphs, so please keep posting!

How much of a time span from the 2nd to the 3rd pic? Quite the change in the petals but I'll take any blooming tigrinum!

 

[reivilos]

Less than 2 days.

That is excellent -- very symmetrical markings.

Fantastic to see the floral progression over time. Thank you for taking the time to post the three pictures in sequence. I love tigrinum, but for some reason I dont seem to have any, a shortcomming I will have to correct

 

[Ozpaph]

Does this tigrinum come from France?

Sweet! How do you grow yours?

That's a very nice tiger you have there. I really like the strong pattern on the dorsal.

I saw this cross years ago at RJ Rands Orchids. It was a cool looking flower. It had a white background with large blotches of dark purple the shape of the tigrinum blotches. Flower shape is an intermediate btw the two and it was shiny like tigrinum!
I wish that I've bought that plant!

FYI. "Toot" is Ray Rands' Afghan Hound.
