For those that enjoy these hybrids. The colours are actually close to the real ones, so very colorful.


Just to give an impression of the size

Nice bold staminode!

I like the dorsal color and pattern! The overall shape isn't to bad. Are the petals going to get longer?

Not much longer, seems to get 4-5 flowers. Here is a picture from last time it flowered, December 2011. These pictures are taken in natural light so colors are better.Aspect is a bit strange, from above.


Perhaps somewhat better? As you see, the flowers are not very well distributed, the influence of the coclopetalum is clearly seen.

A strange reptile! I like it!

 

[TyroneGenade]

Cool! I love the colors in the natural light. Maybe this cross needs to be selfed and linebred for better flower distribution and longer petals? This is certainly a lovely cross.

That kinda looks like argh, I forget the fellow who has the picture from a 1930's book cover. Shows an evil plant - a paph of course - and several small impish creatures bedeviling a greenhouse. Or was it poster art? Anyway, this is the paph!

It definitely has something...

Agree with all of you it is very special, and the colors are truly amazing. It was a bit more colorful this year as opposed to last time this is due to a somewhat colder winter (I have turned down the temp a bit) which also explains the 2 months delayed flowering (it is 14 Months since last time). The picture below was taken last night using flash.

What a wonderful flower, so full of character! I see a delightful face - staminode is the nose, pouch is the chin! Beautiful colors.
Thank you.
