Interesting cross.

That is a very lovely cross. Very colorful flowers to say the least. I wouldn't mind growing one myself.

It is an interesting cross. I would like to hear your thoughts on back crossing it to henryanum. What do you expect to see from this type of cross? I'm more of a multi type person, would entertain the idea of a back cross onto Primchild but that's just me. I would even go with another multi such as, lowii or haynaldianum trying to capture the pink spoons.

Really nice, well done
I'm with Rick, I'd cross it back to lowii or haynaldianum, that way you would keep the multi-floral character and still intensify the pink colors and the spots. Another thought would be to cross it to one of the cochlopetalums species or hybrids like moquettianum or liemianum. This would also help keep the pink colors and retain the multifloral trait.

Much brighter and dynamic than I would have expected.
Not sure if you kept the pollen, but if you were going to try use it for further breeding, I would cross it against another multi-floral hybrid with lowii or haynaldianum in the background (i.e Julius, Jerry Spence, etc.).
Alternatively, another possibility is using a brachy parent such as bellatulum, which would wind up being a larger and better version of Paph Governor Patrick Henry. Or speaking of bigger and better versions, crossing it with suhakulii would be a better version of Paph Graham Robertson.

Before I opened this post, I went to open a beer and try and visualize the outcome. At least I got the beer right, my mental picture of this was way off! It is way nicer than I had imagined. There is enough pollen there to go a multitude of routes. Go for it!

So Jim did you ever make your cross? Did the pod hold?

I suppose that depends if it is the pod or pollen parent, not Henry season in the SH yet.

Very surprising outcome. The flower is lovely! But why cross back to henryanum? I would think what was needed was more of the roth influence? Why not cross back to Primechild or to a sibling? I would like to understand the rationale as well as what the goal is.

Sorry I thought he posted it on the 2 July, did not realize it was the 7 feb!
