Purchased from Elite Orchids in England last year. Enormous flower, much bigger than when I bought it and darker, (although smaller growth). I've been growing it with my Odonts, so cold, down to about 8 or 9C on the coldest winter nights.

Now that's a good one.
Must be there abouts I would have thought. I will take a pic tomorrow in the daytime with a ruler.
Eye-popping, outstanding color, congrats.
I measured it at 13 cm. When I flatted the petals it was more like 13.5 cm

Really great color, great size!! do you know what clonal names of parents?
wondering if they came from Erik Young Foundation???
I think, EY has some of the very best breeders,,,, many F S's will not breed, which is dissapointing.
I have been told if i can acquire plants through the EY breeding lines they are more likely to breed ..
Any thoughts?

Which by the way brings me to my next question..
has anyone in the USA, purchased EY plants, and what process did you use to attempt this?

EY came to the PaphForum around 2013 or 2014? Maybe they’ll come to a PaphForum in the near future? (I did by a couple phrags from them but they did not thrive for me)
I don't think it's an EYOF plant

You’re right, that’s from the Fischers at Orchids limited. It’s the same grex as the other FS just listed.

Linus:
has a tentative list been posted or proposed possible list of vendors for the forum yet??

Nothing yet. Based on past PF, Woodstream Orchids and Jeff Morris should be selling plants as they are local (Floradise is also local, but I don’t recall them coming last year). Usually the speakers are vendors; but I haven’t heard who will be speaking Feb 8.
