Scooby, great photos!

What is the red paph with green striped dorsal on the lower left first page?

It is spectacular!
 
That's a pretty nice Rhychostylis! The spots have merged into an almost solid margin or border.

It was from Krull Smith's display...Paph. Petula "Orlando"...At the show I was pretty sure I saw it last year at the WOC too...here's the pic I dug up of it last year too...

Thank you for posting these photos, it sure looks like there were a lot of great flowers at this show.

That Blc. (Rsc.) Carlos Fighetti is unreal if that color is anywhere close to accurate. Quite a variation from the ones I remember seeing at the 19th WOC.

I haven't ever seen Paph. London Tower before - it sure has gorgeous color, elegant form and a synsepal to die for. The photo shows that it's almost as beautiful from the back as it is the front! Turns out that the cross is Paph. (Lappawinze x Laser) which is a mottled leaf crossed onto a red complex. The slightly ruffled edge makes it kinda look like Paph. Orchilla with an attitude - but after doing a little research it turns out that's no accident because Paph. Lappawinze shares one parent (Paph. Redstart) with Paph. Orchilla.
 
I may just have to order one of those from Krull Smith's. They are very nice.
