Moquetteanum

[tnyr5]

From Sam, ('New Dimension' x 'Red Pouch')
Probably still has a touch of expanding to do.
Guess I should probably start being nice to it...

Looks cute and fat. Great dorsal.

Beautiful. I have the same cross and the flower measured 5 inches across. Is yours the same?

Sam claims to have the best moquettianum stock in the world. He maybe right.

 

[tnyr5]

Not quite that big. I think it will finish around 11cm. It's more the proportion that is impressive than the size. Petals are 1.7cm wide. ( without the hairs )

I think so, Tony. This is a lovely Paph. moquettianum May I ask what is the leaf span of the plant ?

 

[tnyr5]

About 60cm

Thats a beauty.
Round dorsal!

Good enough for a real pic. Light wasn't great, couldn't quite get rid of all the shadows.

Swoon.

great photo. You could use a reflector below the flower.

I’m usually able to resist the sequential bloomers, but this one is pretty spectacular….I may have to try to make room….

stunning .

It seems pretty much open now, so time to call the dimensions:
NS 11cm, Dorsal width (flattened) 4.9cm, Petal width 1.8cm
