Groups Champion of TPS Paphiopedilum Show - 2011 May

[Rick]

I've got a few (youngster) randsii plants, the largest abour 12" wide, so it's going to take about 46 years for that one to bloom. Flowering plants? I've never seen one in over 20 years of ochidology.

There have been one or two bloomings posted on this site over the last couple of years. One of the plants I know is no longer with us

Obviously they've had some bloomings at Orchid Inn and Fox Valley within the last few years, because seedlings just came out from them. I got some from both, and they are only about 6 inches across, but growing faster than I expected in the basket system. MORE MAGNESIUM!!

The Kolosand is nice but that randsii!! OMG, phenomenal. Thanks for sharing with us!

 

[Hera]

I like them all but the Kolosand "Green Dragon" made my jaw drap on the floor.

Thanks for sharing!

Ditto. The green color seems to glow.

[Pete]

the randsii is exceptional..
funny story. my good friend found the first kolosand alba that came out of that cross. he was working at the nursery that was growing that bunch of plants out and the album was about to be shipped out in bud for like 50$ just like the regular coloratums, but he was paying good attention and switched it out for one with "regular buds"....WHEW

 

[NYEric]

Where can we get them?

 

[Pete]

nowhere anymore. at least not for less than a few k$

 

[NYEric]

No problem just send it to me, I'm good for the dough!

Thank you so much, Shen, for posting these images! I particularly love the last one: the Dollgoldi 'Moriyama' SM/TPS! It's wonderful - broad, shapely petals, pouch, seen from this angle, at least, in proportion. Overall a fine flower!

Amazing plants! They all are so perfect!
