Lady Isabel x delenatii

Lady Isabel is rothschildianum x stonei.

Yep. and the fact that it has been a regular bloomer!
Its sibling was nowhere near this good and naturally I got rid of it although it was a much better grower.

Worth the wait! How large is the plant?

Beautiful!!!

Each leaf is somewhere from 7-12in long. Fairly compact plant, I'd say.
But this is about the typical size for Pink Sky and Delrosi I have had.

If you have good parents, please do remake the cross!

Ha, I would definitely take on a seedling! I used to be terrified of seedlings until a Paph expert gave me a free Phal seedling (I was in a repotting class, and we all got one) I was told that it would be red or Orange when an adult! Well, 6 years later, I had an obviously dwarf Phal which was very due blooming. I tucked it outside for the summer hoping it would encourage blooming! Unfortunately a deer passed by and decided to EAT IT! It was very rewarding however and would grow another seedling at the drop of a hat!!

Impressive, Happy!

Don’t think I’ve seen one quite this pink before. Usually more muted, lavender-brown stuff. This is pink like a Phrag.

Yes, it really lives up to its name!
I had a sibling plant and it had flowers almost white with faint pink lines with plain white dorsal. Very twisty everywhere. Too much stonei influence I guess. It was a super grower, though.

Impressive, Happy!

I’m really hoping that the plant will grow faster & stronger as I want this around for a long time!
