late rothschildianum

[paworsport]

Hi All

I 'm in Pau, small city of Bearn for the week end and I discover the flower show with a hall devoted to orchids.

Philippe Lecoufle and L'Amazone were present amongs others. Philippe Lecoufle has a nice stand with a lot of Cattleya with strong and delicious parfume and Gerard Schmitt has a nice stand with very nice plants as usual and he brings a roth "select" in flower in november with 4 flower of 28 cm wide. The previous flower was 30 but due to the season the plant is a little stressed I suppose. I add a nice pic of paph Actaeus.

I bought a big Wossner Vietnam Star form his selection program (roth x vietnamense) with two big growths and a bud in the youngest. Leafspan 60cm !

Bravo Gerard!!!! Cool roth blooms!!!! Maybe I have a seedling of this one !

Great Vietnamense cross purchase, for a nice price !!


I do have a Vietnam Star from Gerard, 2 growths and a young one, also showing (maybe) a going-to-be spike !!!! Jean
