Everyone gets ONE GUESS. First correct guess wins. Winner will receive a select seedling from their choice of the following crosses I've made:

Paph Fumi's Gold (concolor x armeniacum)
Paph Tropical Magic (primulinum var. purpurescens x henryanum)
Paph (barbigerum x Hellas 'Sunset' HCC/AOS)
Paph Lunacy (Hellas 'Sunset' HCC/AOS x Skip Bartlett 'White Pepper' HCC/AOS)

Talk about lightning! You got it, Craig. Make your choice.

This is the first bloom of a division of Paph Orion 'Starfield' (concolor x insigne) that I got from Baker and Chantry a few years back. The cross was registered in 1893 by Veitch & Sons, but has never been registered as a parent in any cross. Does anyone have any further information on the 'Starfield' clone? Is it from the original cross or is it from a remake years later?
 
My gut agrees with the last two guesses, but my official guess will be

concolor x gratrixianum
 
Wow, my first guessing game.

It seems like your personal cross should be the one I choose.
So the winner is....

Paph (barbigerum x Hellas 'Sunset' HCC/AOS)

:drool:
 
I should have run a contest on the thread I just started about
a fairly newly registered hybrid A-doribil Niverich. I would NEVER
have guessed that one.
