Guess The Primary #2

[Drorchid]

OK, I have another Primary for you guys:

Can you guess the parents of this one? (Only people are allowed to guess who have not seen it on our website). As a hint this was a very old primary cross that was registered back in 1896 and has not been seen for many years. I actually made the cross for the foliage. I selected two parents that had attractive foliage and crossed them together. The foliage did turn out nice as you can see from the picture below, but the flowers were interesting as well.

Good luck guessing!

hookerae and something else.

hookerae x superbiens or x curtisii

I would agree with Uri. This ones tricky with the superbiens complex though.

Awesome leaves!

I too agree with Uri.

curtisii x hookerae

 

[Heather]

My first thought when I saw the dorsal was curtisii, but that whole compex confuses me also so I wasn't sure.

Heh... that is exactly what I was thinking before I saw the rest of the posts... =)

Have to agree: Paph. superbiens x Paph. hookerae

I am lured back with the thrill of the contest. What about Paph Fortuna?

Paph callosum (capsule) X Paph hookerae = Paph Fortuna 1896

I tried a google search to find a photo of this hybrid, but no luck.

That's my two cents worth!

I would put a slight twist on Uri's answer with hookerae x cilliolare
