This plant was grown from flask and it came from Orchid Inn and the cross is Paph wardii 'AWOO' x 'Magnifico'. It was the runt of the batch.

That is amazing. Never seen it before.

Cool
Don't know anything about AWOO, but Magnifico is Jo Levey's (Memphis, TN) handle. It could be a very old collected plant.
The dense spotting pattern is very similar to my plant, but I think that was aquired from the pollen parent "Charles" that Gilda used to have.

This flower is awesome. Not surprising that it came from awarded parents.

love the coloration on this one...looks like sometimes it's worth hanging on to the runts.

wilted blossom
Three years ago I picked up a division of wardii 'Magnifico' AM/AOS and it does bloom bi-floral on the two occasions it has bloomed for me (under lights). Three flowers is a very nice trait, worth breeding for. Though the flowers present the best if there is only one flower per inflorescence.

I agree with you Leo! I think the second flower on it is overlapping it!

This is really interesting... I have had spicerianum throw more than one flower, but never wardii. Thanks for sharing.
