Hi!
I'm new here and this is my first thread. I'm hoping that you folks can verify something for me. I recently had an "incident" when my new kitten knocked over several paphiopedilum pots onto my greenhouse floor. I put things back as best I could, but some of the tags were questionable. I think I got it right, but I'm not 100% positive. So I'm hoping you guys can help me out. One of the paphs involved in the mixup is currently blooming. Here is a photo:
The staminoid is a bit tweeked, and the second flower has opened with a little horn on the pouch. I think this is the same orchid that I bought over ten years ago from Orchids Ltd in Minneapolis, MN. I think it is liemianum x rothschildianum, which would make it Transdoll. I've searched the internet and every photo I've come across of Transdoll has a broader petal stance and a lot fewer hairs. The petals are a lot more twisted in mine, too. Is it just a case that mine has a stronger liemianum influence?
I don't have all that many paphs in my collection. The only other possibility would be primulinum crossed with sanderianum, but I seem to recall that one bloomed out quite differently. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
Best Regards,
Nik
