I thought this was nice and had to buy it instantly...
13cm nat. spread on a very compact plant of maybe 20cm leaf span. I've seen a couple of flowers from this particular cross and all had these extremely unequal petals. The cross is hangianum x godefroyae.

OMG! That is stunning!

This is a great cross. I have seen some pics of awesome clones in Japan.

Amazing form!

I have noticed that almost all parvi x brachy hybrids have uneven petals. When the bud is forming, one of the two petals is 'hugging' the other (this will be the larger petal), giving it a larger size as it overlaps the smaller petal.

I wonder if other paphs have a similar blooming habit...

:clap: :drool: Certainly looks like both parents! Good buy! :clap::drool:
1st time bloom? Should improve!

Love the colors. I hadn't thought of what Jason said, about the unevenness of the petals. Interesting...

Very cool bloom! Gorgeous!! Good buy!

 

[parvi_17]

Hmmm I hadn't even noticed that the one petal is smaller than the other. I was so drawn to that nice round pouch. Still, it's a very nice flower.

It's terrible, I'll take it off your hands. :evil:

 

[CodPaph]

very very nice, big flower

 

[smartie2000]

Those petals are very round though. Nice buy

 

[SlipperFan]

Pretty. Interesting about the petal size.

 

[JeanLux]

yes, but nevertheless a spectacular flower!!! Jean

 

[SlipperKing]

I guess someone needs to come up with a "petal booster" fertilizer

Nice flower

I don't think that's always true, but I guess that could get exagerated with a monstrous hangianum hybrid too.
