    Paphiopedilum Bel Royal

    That is a magnificent Bel Royal. Great shape and the petals look very wide. And the sepals don't furl like a lot of clones. Certainly, worth the wait and the space. Did you knock the top flower off?

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    In Australia we say 'Monday's expert'. Wedding's, Parties, Anything even wrote a song about it.

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    The colour in 'Black Vision' is astonishing. The 'Awesome' clone ain't bad either.

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    Well Sam did send me a photo of King Kong. Assuming it was legitimate, it looked pretty good. Seven large very dark flowers on a first flowering seedling.

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    I have a flask of King Kong x Humongous that are growing well. Kiwi said that Sam had told him he had very high hopes for this cross. I would have thought this roth cross was legitimate as both parents are from his own breeding. If it was true that Sam was a bit of a fraudster, it wouldn't make...

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    This was an OI seedling of mine that got an AM award. Possibly has the potential to be upgraded in future. https://www.slippertalk.com/threads/paphiopedilum-rothschildianum-anisha-am-aoc.52235/

    Paph rothschildianum x sib ('Knight Sunshine' SM/JOGA x 'Tarantula' GM/JGP)

    I don't bid myself. It is too difficult and expensive to import live plants into Australia. I sometimes just look at that website out of interest.

    Sold as Paphiopedilum kolopakingii, could it be paphiopedilum temptation instead ?

    Looks like Temptation to me too. Kolopakingii has much wider leaves.

    Thanks. Great to put faces to familiar names. Enjoy yourself. Looks like it would be a lot of fun.

    My best Rothschildianum

    An incredible clone.

    Paph Bel Royal 'My Immortal ' AM/AOS

    Fantastic clone Rick. On of the best I have seen of this cross. Certainly a well-deserved award. The dorsal is especially good. It can often furl in this hybrid because of the kolopakingii influence. Great flower count too for a first flowering seedling. You might get 7 or 8 flowers in future...

    Coelogyne marthae

    Delightful.

    Bud watch: Wössner Kolorand x rothschildianum

    Me too. Quicker than I could.

    Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with true pedigree, second flowering

    Every one of those clones is exceptional. I assume it is not a random sample of the cross. They are all award quality, based on the photos, some maybe even FCC.
