How about a pair of roths.

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Both of these rothschildianum's are the same cross. The cross is 'Green Valley' SM/TPS x 'Dou Fang) The first one is the one I purchased from Parkside Orchids back in Nov. I was surprised to see it spiking so soon. This one is growing in a bark mix. The length of the petals on this one is 9 inches tip to tip.

The second one of the exact same cross was bought last January at the World Orchid Confrence from In-Charm Orchids. This one is growing in S/H. The length of the pedals on this one is 8.5 inches tip to tip.

Sweet! I'm love'in the second but you know I'll take either! Nice to see the variation within the same cross.

 

[Ross]

Nice color contrast on the dorsals!

 

[Wendy]

Nice. I favour the second as well. Neat to see the differences in the same cross. Thank you! :clap:

I have two roths that will be open in a week or so...will post pics then.

:clap: :drool: I'm liking the darker pouch color & the stand up tall dorsal of the first one. :drool: :clap:
I'm getting one from Ernie - what will it look like?

 

[NYEric]

What size pot is that, the plants don't seem to be gigantic!!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Eric, the pot is 5.5" wide and about 6.5 to 7" tall.

 

[NYEric]

I thought they would be bigger to bloom.

 

[SlipperFan]

They are both nice. I'd be pleased.

I prefer the second one, but the first one has deeper color on pouch.
