Paphiopedilum rothschildianum 'New Bear' SM/TPS x ro-6

Fabrice · Apr 1, 2013

I hoped a good color with this cross. I have a good color!

It's at this time the rothschildianum of my collection with the darkest dorsal.

First bloom. It's a small flower of 23cms and the petals are not completely flat.
But 4 flowers for a 1st time with good presentation. (next photos with the 4 flowers)

The colour is incredible. I do much prefer these dark roths. I'd be willing to overlook those tiny faults for a colour as good as that.

I'll second that!

Very striking color and a nice, big nose.

Perhaps the petals will straighten a bit as the flowers mature? Either way it is a small minor fault on an incredible set of flowers. The dorsal colour is magical, streaks of blackcurrant jelly on vanilla icecream! (or a bit like my shirt front after a night of cigars and port)

can't wait for my flask of these to flower in 5-8yrs..............

It goes without saying that it has great color. It is rare to see a roth so dark. It has alot of potential for future breeding. I can't wait for the coming years to see alot of dark roth seedling coming to bloom.

Anyone have any history on this 'New Bear' clone? Is it from the 'MM' and 'Rex' cross?

Shiva · Apr 2, 2013

Well done Fabrice, beautiful roths you have this morning.

Fabrice · Apr 2, 2013

No, New Bear and ro-6 seems to be wild collected plant.

Justin · Apr 2, 2013
