praestans, first two flowers came out deformed
Calurum
Laelia tenebrosa; an awarded clone
Another tenebrosa, lighter but better shape
AND LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST!
Paph Unique 'Shirley D' AM/AOS I know Neil as did Jay whom was the original owner of this amazing one-of-a-kind clone. Shirley was Neil's wife and all his awarded plants carried her name. I have only seen this plant/flowers once many years ago on the net and that was a very poor picture. This division of Jay's, as far as we know, is the only known division in existence and it hasn't bloomed in many years until now. I photograph it and Jay cut the spike to encourage more growth. The cross, roth by fairrieanum is extremely difficult to make, if it takes most plants look like fairrieanum and if you're lucky enough to grow them on you will probably never see a flower! I did see in the record books many years ago one other clone of Unique was awarded in Japan. I'm under the impression this is a very rare hybrid unless someone can prove me wrong.
I also have to include the proud owner, Jay
