Proportionally, it is a bit out. The petals are very long relative to the rest of the flower. Never going to be awarded. But I still like it. It looks different. It is a unique looking roth. A keeper in my eyes.

A keeper for sure.

Very nice. Love the dorsal especially.

I have never seen a Lady Isobel look even remotely like that. Primary hybrids are pretty stable. They don't fluctuate wildly from one extreme to another. I could believe it was Lady Isobel x stonei. I guess another possibility is it is a Lady Isobel secondary hybrid (ie Lady Isobel x Lady...

Thanks Rudolf. That is a strange trait. Certainly none of my plants have it.

I was going to respond to this via PM, but I seem to be unable to do this with you.

Thanks for that Rudolf. Based on the flower and leaf measurements, both of my clones would be var. christensonianum, The measurements are bang on. I don't really understand the pointed leaf characteristic.

The left flower is the other clone (Geyserland).

So depending on who you believe, my plant is either Paph christensonianum or Paph gratrixianum var christensonianum?

I have 4 other NFS seedlings which won't flower this season. I might do a sib cross in future.

Thanks Rudolf. I do like this clone. The predominately white dorsal with large spots is especially striking.

A great species. I like the size of the second one and the colour of the third.

I received a few seedlings from a flask. All I was told was that they were from a Vietnamese species. Now that I have flowered it, it looks like gratrixianum to me. Does anyone disagree? The last photo has my gratrixianum 'Geyserland' clone as a comparison.

WOW Justin. Just WOW. Not just flowering one of the legendary roths, but flowering it with 3 spikes. Must be one of the highlights of your hobby. Incredible growing.

That is seriously nice. Fantastic colour. Looks a compact plant too.

That is a magnificent Bel Royal. Great shape and the petals look very wide. And the sepals don't furl like a lot of clones. Certainly, worth the wait and the space. Did you knock the top flower off?

Lovely form.

In Australia we say 'Monday's expert'. Wedding's, Parties, Anything even wrote a song about it.

The colour in 'Black Vision' is astonishing. The 'Awesome' clone ain't bad either.

Well Sam did send me a photo of King Kong. Assuming it was legitimate, it looked pretty good. Seven large very dark flowers on a first flowering seedling.
