Dark red pouch and petals.

Leslie, this flower is a eye catcher, good colour and flower shape and stance......but she doesn't deserve your clonal name. At least in my eyes because this is very martial and doesn't fit to such a peaceful and pretty flower.

If you take this flower to be judged and it ain't highly awarded, there would be only one possible explanation: the judges are blind!

Very bloody!!
Great venustum! You picked this one up overseas? What's the cross, parents?

Thank Guru.

The name is violent now that I think of it. Reminds me of the Red Wedding scene in GOT. The name is stuck now that it’s published lol.

I’m going to prim her up for judging with its own light lol. That way, even the most blind will see .

Actually this is a line breeding from Sam Tsui of ‘Foxcatcher’ x self!

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! It took almost 2 years of research and interviews to come up with the updated info on this species.

Carter & Holmes is offering Paphiopedilum venustum ('Foxcatcher' AM/AOS x 'Terminator') x sibling which they say originated at Woodstream Orchids. Any comments on likely flower quality? Thanks

The parent plant that they show is unremarkable IMO, I would go to Orchid Inn or Paph Paradise for better breeding.
