Don Wimber renamed Memoria Dick Clements v flavum, from old Oak Hill nursery

[Kawarthapine]

One of several recent bloomers.

The dorsal is a bit pinched but otherwise comparable with previous flowers.

Doesn't look like Don Wimber. Maybe Mem. Dick Clements or Andean Fire assuming the photo is over-exposed.

The pic is taken of the bloom in late day sunlight so it is sliightly over exposed.

The first time it bloomed I thought it was Memoria Dick Clements, but tag said Don Wimber. I just posted my MDC in another new post. Both originate from Oak Hill.

The plant has had a near green/yellow dorsal since first bloom.

So, do you think I should rename it as a MDC or keep it as an oddball Don Wimber?

I agree, it's definitely not Don Wimber. And while it's most likely MDC, it's also possible that it's another similar hybrid, but not actually MDC.

It looks like it was made with flavum besseae as a parent, though.

Many years ago, I got a Mem. Dick Clements from Oak Hill, and it looked just like this one. Unfortunately, it died -- I hope yours lives.

It's Memorial Dick Clements flavum. There are flavum Don Wimbers from EYOF stock, Woodstream displayed on at SEPOS, but they look like Don Wimbers.

Thanks Eric, Tom, Dot et al...

Appreciate the input.

Hi Duncan, I will agree with others... It is a Platypetalum cross with a besseae flavum... It is very nice!

 

[brasphrag]

I agree too, curled petals may indicate a Platypetalum hybrid . Any way a nice orange color!

I agree with everyone , this does have the shape of a MDM , very very unlikely that it is a Don Wimber
maybe a very beautiful MDM breeding using besseae flavum . the folds at the edge of the dorsal may open more with more watering ?

 

[Kawarthapine]

So, would this likely be a besseae var flavum crossed with Phragmipedium lindleyanum var. sargentianum?

 

[Heather]

It's neat!

 

[raymond]

I have the same cross as he, and it is an MDC flavum
