Mmmm....what's this!?!??

[Heather]

Any ideas? Anyone read Chinese? I tried to translate to no avail. I would guess some sort of sanderianum hybrid by Julius. Or Berenice maybe?

i will say, without a doubt, that it's an orchid. to be specific, a Paph....

You are, without a doubt, the BEST orchid identifier I have ever met. oke:

Looks a lot like Paph. Lien Luu (P. Berenice x P. Moustache)

 

[Heather]

Huh. It does, eh? You tracked down a picture of that yet, Lien Luu? :wink:

That top flower just looks to me to have nice wide petals so I am wondering. That's my kinda paph!

This is a photo of P. Lien Luu 'Crystelle' FCC/AOS. It's not my photo, but it's the award photo from the when the plant was awarded a month ago. Frank sent it to me when he got it from the photographer. It looks a little "funny" in the photo because the plant was dropped when they brought it from the judging area to the photography area and the pouch fell off. They super-glued it back on for the award photo.

 

[Heather]

Hrm, it DOES look a bit like that!

Any other thoughts?

That Paph. Lien Luu is such a gorgeous plant. Wow.

P.S. Lien, did you get your NMR unknowns done in time for lab?
