Yes, Paph. Bel Royal is one of the parents. It is none of the others that you mention, including Prince Edward of York.

Robert, you said that you were puzzled when it first opened, what sort of result were you expecting/hoping for from this cross?

 

[SlipperFan]

I would have sworn philip, roeb or wil would have been the 50% part!

I was puzzled because it does look like a philippinense cross, but there is no philippinense in the background. That shows that Paph. randsii and philippinense must be closely related.

The reason I made this cross, is because both parents get lots of flowers per spike (5 to 7), so I was hoping this would carry to the progeny. This is a first bloom seedling, and it already has 4 flowers, so hopefully it will get more when it matures.
