Congratulations Rob!

Congratulations on getting this - I can see why it became the source of your addiction.

Very nice - with 4 blooms too. Good idea to cut the inflorescence, I cut mine a bit late, and am now left with just 2 healthy leaves remaining.

Thanks Dave. Just to reconfirm - apart from Z2135 and Z2519 - were there other Rex x MM crosses listed in the records?

Much nicer dorsal too compared to another plant from the same cross that hasn’t flowered this year yet.

Paph hennisianum regular color form and fma christiansenii

It would be great if someone has an old OZ price list to check what the Z2519 cross was - this is so intriguing now.

This and the other thread on roth parentage have been very informative. The grower thought it was a remake of the cross done later. How much time does it take to remake a cross?

Here they are - now in their first bloom. On the left is Rex x MM w/ 3 blooms, and on the right is NH x Raptor, which while it has 4 blooms - has a less saturated and lighter color. Both seem to have shorter inflorescences in more compact plants than other roths I’ve seen - I wonder if that’s...

Good point, and info on geographic variety of the species. The photo from Incharm though had distinctly narrow leaves.

Hi Incharm, I recently purchased a division of a plant with long and very narrow leaves - quite different from my other philippinenses - not ver stiff though because maybe it’s not established yet. It was labelled as laevigatum. I wonder if this fits the roebelinii description of your plants?

The grower The grower said it was from a batch of seedlings she got from OZ in 1998, one of the slower growing ones left.

Roth feast! Can’t wait to see the blooms.

Excitedly waiting for 2 roths to bloom - the first under my care to spike, both first bloom after getting them a few years ago. First is ‘New Horizon’ x ‘Raptor’ - looks like I may have 3-4 blooms. The second is ‘Rex’ x ‘Mt Millais’ - from what I was able to gather - from a batch of seedlings...

Amazing plants. An inspiration for us indoor / windowsill growers!

In bloom now - - A pair of Paph fowliei album - the one on the right has a split synsepal - hope that corrects in next bloom - Paph argus - Paph Addicted Philip

Congrstulations for keeping such a treasure going for so long…

I’m trying a few plants on semi-hydro, hoping to rejuvenate them - after 2 weeks, I noticed white precipitate forming on the topmost Leca balls. I noticed new roots starting to grow so the plant seems to be adapting, but wanted to get feedback on what’s happening and what I should be doing...

Posting a photo of the sand plant from a few days ago - excited that a 2nd bud is starting to open
