An old hybrid, but still pleasing. A variation on the 'Maudiae' type, here the spots are from argus. The plant gets quite large though. I have included a standard 30cm ruler for scale

1895, yes, no spring chicken! Still nice.

Huge plant. Very nice flowers too.

Io x Youngianum

(argus x lawrenceanum) x (philippinense x superbiens)

Very nice. I thought it looked like it must have a some multifloral influence. Seems like that particular cross wouldn't have been made very often. Do you know if this is the original grex?

 

[Secundino]

Fantastic!

 

[Erythrone]

Wow! I love it!

 

[nathalie]

Very nice plant !

 

[The Mutant]

That's one very well grown plant. Wonderful.

 

[Lmpgs]

Seems like a ballerina to me!

 

[SlipperFan]

That is really quite nice!

Nice Gary. I assume this plant is from the original 1895 cross. It seems a bit left field to have been remade.

 

[Ozpaph]

a very impressive display; well grown.

 

[abax]

Beautiful, well grown plant and gorgeous flowers Gary.
Lovely flowers and foliage...woohoo!

 

[Trithor]

Thanks all.
Kirk and David, I suspect this is a division of the original or else a remake dating back to a similar date. I certainly have only ever come across this offered as a division and only once.

 

[SlipperKing]

I use to have Paph IO and it grew like this plant but it refused to bloom.

Very bold pouch color! It's so neat that you own a piece of history!

 

[Leo Schordje]

Lovely
It does look like a division of the original. Very nice.
