Actually, I think Twilight was 4 N so we should adjust the %. I just saw it yesterday when I found the old label. So this plant is a 3N

Nice to see the percentages of the various species in the hybrid but please remember that this is a very rough figure and the actual % could be completely different due to segregation of the chromosomes during crossing.
It could well be that species with low percentages will be completely missing in this plant,

You are right David!

The Eric Young in the make -up could have been made with dalessandroi and not besseae which would have helped with the branching. Anyhow that's a lovely bloom.

Wonderful hybrid!!

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Looks great!
I'd imagine that would branch in the near future and be quite the show stopper!
