interesting liemianum x hangianum

[orchid527]

First of all, note that I said interesting and not attractive. The flowers have a natural spread of more than 15 cm and the dorsal is about 5.5 cm. The petals have the texture of velvet. There are at least 2 more buds on each.

I would call it attractive. I'd buy one in a heart beat. Is it fragrant?

 

[PaphMadMan]

I think that is a pretty good result for the cross. If you don't like it I'm sure you'd have no trouble finding someone to relieve you of the burden.

It is interesting, but not unattractive.
The green dorsal is a nice contrast to the pink.

I actually find it very attractive. The colour's are great and the shape is pleasing. Sure, we might look at it and desire the roundness of a hang, but this is quite good to me.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nice one Mike. You must of had this plant awhile hey?

I purchased this several years ago and it just sat there for a while without doing anything. Then in the last year or so, it doubled in size and bloomed. What I like best is the size and the flowering habit from the liemianum. I'm thinking of crossing it with a Wossner China Moon I have in bloom. That would give it an extra dose of hangianum. The stem might be a little taller and the petals more round. Do not know how much of the yellow would come through. I guess I will find out.

The green dorsal is a nice contrast to the pink.

I agree. It almost reminds me of some cyps. Back-cross this on to hang.

I love this!

 

[abax]

I like it very much. I can't imagine anyone thinking it unattractive.

 

[Trithor]

Very pleasing colours, with an eye catching contrast between the dorsal and the pink of the rest of the segments. Impressive size and good presentation. He'll, what is not to like?

 

[KyushuCalanthe]

Agreed on all points - nice presentation, shape and color. In particular, I like the lime green dorsal. Unique!

 

[SlipperFan]

All the above. Very different.

It made me think of Cyps too.

I agree. That is a very nice result.

 

[parvi_17]

I personally find it very attractive. One of the nicest Parvi x Cochlo crosses I've seen.

 

[eOrchids]

The contrast between the lime green dorsal and pink petals makes it attractive!

Like!

You´ve done a very good job with those shiny leaves as well. Congrats!
