Paphiopedilum rothschildianum Z2135 (DS 6.4) x Z2135 (DS 6.3)

Fabrice · Mar 22, 2014

Z2135= Rex x MM ; DS= Dorsal Size.

2nd rothschildianum generation. This cross searched to obtain plants with big dorsal. This 2nd bloom have a 6cms dorsal what is awesome to see in reality. And the size is near 29cms.
The previous bloom was clearly smaller (dorsal and petals).

Rex size and form. MM coloration in the dorsal.

Great dorsal and unique light coloration on the petals towards the pouch!

Fabrice · Mar 22, 2014

Here's the previous bloom to compare.

It was smaller and form was less good.

Nice improvement! Beautiful flowers, nice and dark, good dorsal. How big is the plant now?

Fabrice · Mar 22, 2014

Plant have one old growth, the bloomed growth and a new growth 1/3 size.

The leafspan is 80cms.

great improvement on the second blooming. i have one of this cross i believe and the flower looks pretty similar, but not as good as yours.

Fabrice · Mar 22, 2014

My first impression was to be disappointed with clear petals. But as told Spaph, contrast is very interesting and increase the dark side of dorsal.

Migrant13 · Mar 22, 2014

Very nice and as others have said, great dorsal.

ehanes7612 · Mar 22, 2014

is the dorsal reflexing slightly at the bottom? cant tell from picture

Fabrice · Mar 22, 2014

Yes exactly, reflexing slightly at the bottom.

It's why when I'm looking for the photo, the dorsal seems to be smaller than the reality.

Ozpaph · Mar 22, 2014

an exceptional flower.

Outstanding dorsal! Really really nice. Should have darker lines on the petals, but the lightness makes this clone special on the other hand...

SlipperFan · Mar 22, 2014

I agree about the dorsal -- the striping looks quite black.

Stone · Mar 23, 2014

Very Nice!

Trithor · Mar 23, 2014

Not too sure, some of the components look out of proportion to others. Probably because of what we have come to expect? Having said that, yes , the dorsal is very big, just not sure if it is desirably so.

emydura · Mar 23, 2014

That dorsal is wonderful. This roth does have a different look to it but that's a good thing.

In reality, it's less chocking than the photo. But I understand what you mean.
Dorsal is gigantic to compare to narrow petals.

This is very nice! The dorsal is great! Love it.
