Guess the Primary

[Drorchid]

Here is a picture of a primary that opened up for us this week. I had never seen this one before, I looked it up and could not find a picture of it on the web either. It has been registered.

Can you guess the parents? One of course is very obvious; the second is a little harder to guess:

Lovely flower! I have no idea regarding the second parent.

malipoense x micranthum ?

 

[goldenrose]

Can we narrow it down? parvi x parvi?

 

[slippertalker]

I would guess something like malipoense x wenshanense......

 

[Kyle]

x niveum?

What would give it the shorter stem?

Good one Kyle. I was going to guess niveum next.

It is Paph. Wossner Concomal. concolor x malipoense. I don't know if I care too much about this hybrid; that is probably why I can't find it on the internet. To me it looks like a bad Ma Belle. I think the flower is too small, and don't think it is an improvement over either parent. The only thing I like is the short but yet straight stem (Ma Belle's can be kind of floppy). The color is kind of a yellow green.

Very beautiful flower!!!!

 

[NYEric]

Just send it to me!

It reminds me a bit of Mint Chocolate, but with more color in the staminode than mine.

I don't know...I kind of like it. If you don't, though, feel free to send it my way! How long did it take to flower (initiation of spike to flower)? Intermediate temps or a bit on the cool side?
