Roth 'Beware The Pelican' 2025

[tnyr5]

Honestly, it's STILL not fully recovered from whatever made it melt right after shipping 4 years ago. One day it'll drop the other shoe. Still, quite a thing. Pouch color improved quite a bit, though.
Dorsals are 6-6.3ish

Stunning!

‘Beware the Pelican’?! Will be laughing my ass of if you get this awarded someday. Looks like FCC material with another flower or two. So nice. What is the breeding on this one?

 

[Ozpaph]

nice colour and markings.

 

[Tom-DE]

Nice flower markings and colors!

 

[NYEric]

Nice. Show us the plant please.

Top quality and highly awardable. Pleasing form, broad segments, clean dorsal markings, and fully saturated lip. This beauty has it all.

Where did this gem come from?

It’s amazing how they can carry trauma, just like us. Love to see the whole plant. I think this is quite a flower!

This is a 'Sunlight Giant' x 'Kuang Hua Village'. The name came from my friend saying it looks like pelicans in flight.

Sunlight nursery does us no favors with naming lol

Nice. Show us the plant please.

It's about 3ft wide. Still a tiny thing, but, I'm done waiting around to set pods. Chances are, it won't bloom to potential in my lifetime. Of course, chances are I won't live to see the offspring bloom, either, but whatever. (I made roth x true adductum @Tony)

You want that left nut shaved or au naturel?

That is a special clone. The colour and markings are incredible. I don't know what 'Sunlight Giant' looks like, but I have a photo of 'Kuang Hua Village' and your plant sure resembles that clone a lot. Same down swept petals, red pouch, dark colour and heavy striping. This is a great example of a seedling that looks a lot like its parent.

I have one roth seedling of 'Sunlight Giant' x 'Mont Millais' that is growing well. Your plant gives me hope it may be nice.

The downsweptness annoys the heck out of me, actually. It was much less so on the first bloom. If the petals were held at an angle of 12-15° instead of almost 30°, these would be 30cm flowers.

Post the Photo (and parentage if you know it) of Kuang Hua Village please! I've never seen it. Here is Sunlight Giant and if memory serves it's Val x Mt Millais:

For the last time, I do not want your left nut, I want platyphyllum pollen! Lol

Thanks for the photo of Sunlight Giant.

Here is a photo of Kuang Hua Village. The photo I scanned was very dark. Brightened it up a bit. But it doesn't quite look natural. I am pretty sure the roth on the left at this link is Huang Hua Village. Your plant certainly has taken much more after Kuang Hua Village. I don't know the parentage of this clone.

Now he tells me lol

 

[Ozpaph]

just waiting for 'Roth' to chime in......

My avatar picture was a true adductum that I got off an orchid zone seedling list in 2013. Literally blooming size adductum available on a seedling list I think they were $200. You would have been doing some serious self harm. The old OZ was a cool thing
