Another guessing game???!!!

Some of these are probably named, but I'll just list my parentage guesses for now...

1 spicerianum X glaucophyllum (certainly spice X some cochlo)

2 hirsutissimum X bellatulum (not really sure, but my best guess- I see a dorsal stripe I can't explain with this parentage though)

3 niveum X victoria-regina/chamberlainianum (or some cochlo)

4 bellatulum X glaucophyllum

5 emersonii X primulinum (Summer Ice)

6 micranthum X glaucophyllum (Mem Connie Truax- a VERY nice one!)

How'd I do???

Love the first one

 

[Erythrone]

Love the number 3 and 4

The pouch on the first one really makes me lean towards henryanum. Ernie, you sure on the spicerianum parent???

 

[NYEric]

I disagree with you Ernie.
SYL, you can send me 3-6, thanx!

Very sure there's no henry in there (but I've been wrong- MANY times). Pretty sure it's spice x a cochlo. See our Paphiopedilum Zollingeri about 2/3 of the way down here... http://www.enlightenedorchids.com/GalleryPaph.htm. I was stunned when this thing bloomed out with that strong pouch color too. The mahogany overlay in the spice pouch really enhances the cochlo pink/red for sure.

i was kinda thinkin' henry too but i kinda think it might be spice x victoria reginae or maybe victoria-mariae

:crazy:

where would the center dorsal stripe come from if spicer wasn't a parent?

My first thought was when I started looking at this thread was ... hmmm...
I'd enjoy it better if I knew what the crosses were .... hmmm ....
or is this a guessing game? Not now it's too early, gotta work!
I thought you did real good Ernie!

 

[Shiva]

I would go for 3 and 4.

Yeah, but henryanum onto cochlos always gives good dorsal spots. Think Diane Vickery, Limidolli, and Tropical Magic.

I'll take 3,4 and 6.

Wow!!!! I see what you mean by the overlay enhancing the pink in the pouch. I truly wouldn't expect that.

A great collection of plants and blooms.

Thanks for all the naming effort, Ernie. To me, they look like just what you said. I like these.....I'll take 'em all.

 

[SlipperFan]

Sounds good to me too!

 

[W. Beetus]

The last one would be able to find a great home at my place...
Very nice blooms!

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice stuff. Are they all yours?

 

[JeanLux]

Lovely, all of them!!!! Can you tell what is inside ? Jean
