Flasks for sale from Koopowitz breeding

[tim]

Harold overproduced two crosses and asked me to help sell a few. Flasks contain about 20 seedlings, and are $150 each.

1. Paph. lowii ('Albino Beauty' x 'Krull-Smith') x self; these are second generation, and should produce 50% improved albino lowii.

2. Paph. Baby Boo Boo 'Green Dorsal, Pink Pouch' x Doll's Kobold; the pollen parent is pictured below; these are teacup miniatures, some of which should have both pink dorsals and pink pouches.

I heard Mr. Koopowitz give a speech recently at our OS, on and on and on about pink paphs! Carotenoids, anthocyanins... He seems to be hell bent on making a true, purely pink paph if it kills him! I hope this 2nd cross does the trick. He's a very nice guy, well deserving of a pink paph

I did not realize that he was still doing breeding!? How does one get ahold of his flask list?

 

[tim]

He has no flask list; that's why he asked me to sell these.

Bummer.

There already are pink paphs

Not if you ask Mr. Koopowitz. At least, not pink enough. He's looking to create a brilliant pink, no spots, stripes, edges, breaks, etc... From what I gather.

We have plenty of pink in the orchid world! How about some purples and blues!?

Delenatii hybrids like this, Atlantinet, Rosario, etc are generally infertile. Harold is additionally interested in miniatures, which delenatii x complexes tend not to be. The direction of his hybrid is not one which has been done before; of course, whether you find it an interesting one is what makes orchid breeding fun - something for everyone.

Exactly!

Does Paphanatics ever send out flask/plant lists?

I thought they were no more!?
