You have to be happy with a sanderianum hybrid that flowers every year. Especially when it also includes rothschildianum and praestans. Just a great grower. The next step is to get the growths a bit bigger so it can push out a fourth flower.

The way the petals are held out looks really cool!

Heather · May 27, 2011

That is one of the nicer multi flower Paphs I've seen lately!

Hien · May 27, 2011

when I look at the petals, somehow they make me think of the image of Body Builders flexing in competion.

Strong plant and impressive blooms!!!! That's a sand. cross I like a lot (maybe also,but not only, for bodybuilder effect

) !!! Jean

LOL. Yes it reminds me of a flexing body builder as well. I do like the broad imposing shoulders on this clone.

Thanks Howard. I don't understand it either. My Paphs are very seasonal flowerers. I could set my calender by them. My multi's pretty well all flower between late October and December. Except this one. It always flowers at this time of year - mid to late Autumn (from at least 4 flowerings). It has never flowered at any other time. Is it the sanderianum? Is this species an autumn flowerer?

Very nice....

I agree with Hien...

If I'm not mistaken, sanderianum bloomings are triggered by very warm days (~35 degrees Celsius), which is not exactly the conditions experiences during autumn in Australia...

Dang! I'll take that David!

There's certainly nothing wrong with that one. Beautiful!

An excellent example of the cross. The dorsal doesn't have a single wave in it. I love it.

Now that is a lip smacker :rollhappy:
