Paphiopedilum rothschildianum "Green Valley" X Dou Fong"

Fabrice · Apr 1, 2010

My last one for this year, and probably my best roth. First blooming, 3 buds, size of 26cms (and maybe more because I'm always too impatient), dorsal 6cms. Color and form are good. It could be maybe a futur champion...:thumbsup:
Very dfferent of the others for this cross.

And second photo to compare with my other "unknown".

Fabrice, is this maybe your best roth yet? very nice.

Fabrice · Apr 3, 2010

Yes, my best roth; no doubt!

Sam told me it was one of the best of the cross, except it has "only" 3 flowers (He has 2 or 3 plants with 4 flowers but smaller flowers)

3 years later (The plant was very weakened after first bloom), the 2nd bloom. But as I'm a piece of ****, I broke a part of the spike (not completely) under the 1st bud. So, It's not a normal growth for this one. I like the flower but smaller than in 2010. I cut the 3 other buds because it will be too long with the spike partially broken.
I will keep pollen because this plant have a big potential.

Nice. Definitely one of the better ones from the cross.

I agree my roths can take some time to rebound after blooming as one growth seedlings.

My theory is they had so many years to build up to flowering on the first growth, but then the new growths only have a year or two before they are trying to bloom again. I have one that was awesome on the first blooming, then really weak on the second blooming, but is now looking much stronger with the newest growth.

that is a beauty!

Very nice. I should have gotten one of this cross. But I cant justify paying the price at that time. Oh well next time I guess.
