A Steady & faithful Parvi Hybrid

[Happypaphy7]

Paphiopedilum (micranthum x Memoria Hirohisa Kawai) is in bloom again.
Plus one emerging bud and two other spikes rising.
It was last in bloom this past winter and I harvested a seed capsule earlier in the spring.
I got this as a large seedling in 2016. Bloomed for the first time in 2017. Been blooming every few months ever since!
Grown under T8 half the year & windowsill the other half the year.
No repotting this whole time. It’s a pot full now and I have to repot to accommodate future new growths.

That sucks!!
Was it a remake of Kevin Porter or Akegoromo?
I made a cross with Fanaticum on this one. Hopefully it will produce at least one flask and I get the correct seedlings.
I plan on putting Magic Lantern on the current bloom. Hopefully something similar but with larger & rounder pouch!

It was a cross of Triple Bella 'Spotted Chad' AM/AOS x micranthum 'Dana Lynn'

Pity about your flask, Tony
