Sweet! Adductum and anitum are such great parents. Shame that the same cant be said with the species. Culture wise.

 

[Ruli]

Wow!

 

[Ozpaph]

those are magnificent plants. Do you know what the parents are (cultivars)?

Wellcome to Taiwan!

I like the first roth best. All of them are beautiful though.

Stunning!
I recall someone on this forum saying that they had done a chromosome test on esquirolei 'Taka' GM/TPS and it proved to be a hybrid. If that is correct, how is it still being show as a species?

Hi,
Bidborough (Paph. Beaufort x Paph. Hancar).

I recall reading a couple of threads about 'Taka' and some other clones where it was claimed that they were hybrids. Roth (Xavier) said that he had tested 'Taka' and it indeed was a hybrid. See post #31 in the link below...

Thank you for telling me so much.
Did 'TaKa" through the AOS claimed it was a hybrid?

 

[Marc]

I love the first two and the "taka" is nice as well.

But as far as I'm concerned the clonal name "taka" always reminds me of a certain story so I tend to have mixed opinion about this plant.

I don't know any more about these plants than has been written here and on other forums. The huge flowers would make me doubt that they are species but that's not conclusive. When a knowledgeable and capable person like Xavier says he has done a chromosome count and has a plausible explaination as to how these plants came into existence, I will treat these plants with caution until proven otherwise.

If there is no sufficient evidence, I guess TPS will not change the award.
