henryanum x dayanum

labskaus said:If there weren't the unusual colouration of the dorsal and the petals getting broader towards the tips I'd say it is a straight charlesworthii with a curled-back dorsal.
Dayanum should inherit the shape of its dorsal to some extend, and some hairs on thew petals. Also, if you look at Stephens site, all intersectional crosses of paphiopedilum x sigmatopetalum species appear to have broad leaves with at least some mottling.
It is a beautiful flower, though.
Cheers, Carsten
Heather said:oooh, the plot has thickened since I last read this thread....
I noticed the spotting on the bud...totally going out on a limb here but could there be some villosum or gratixianum influence perhaps?
Subtending bractHeather said:No, I'd call that the sheath, upon closer inspection.

cdub said:Heather's right about the spotting with influence from gratrixianum, but charlesworthii has the spotted leaves and bracts too. I'd say Guru's on the right track. charlesworthii x barbigerum.
So where can a get one?
GuRu said:Hi Lance,
The staminoide looks pretty similar to P. barbigerum. Have a look at this thread from two weeks ago.

P. barbigerum is appropriate to the size and the look of the whole plant.
Just a thought!
Best regards from Germany, GuRu.
Heather said:I don't know, so I'll ask. Does barbigerum have the spotting? Or is that just from the charlesworthii? Interesting! I thought it might just be charlesworthii but the one I had, I got in bud, and I don't think the sheath was spotted. So, I was going on my spotted sheath experience.
I find all of this very interesting. I hope you don't mind me throwing (incorrect) thoughts out there!
