Just opened a week ago: Paph Barb Hella (barbigerum x Hellas 'Sunset' HCC/AOS), registration pending. It is growing in a 2 1/4 inch pot.

Great! Like a large barbigerum, I like that.
it's a good cross for making compact bulldogs. What will be your next step?Hopefully, this will be a good first step in breeding compact bulldogs.
Wow, it's really mean someting to you.I was destined to do this cross, BARBigerum x HELLAs, as my mother's name is Barbara Hella.:wink:
it's a good cross for making compact bulldogs. What will be your next step?I will continue to bloom out seedlings, looking for a few with the best qualities. I have about 35-40 seedlings left after selling some. then, I will probably cross it with either small growing speicies or another complex with small species in its heritage, such as Paph Barbilight, which is 1/4 barbigerum.

The registration is already on its way to the RHS.Wow, it's really mean someting to you.
Go register it quickly!
I think that is the same cross you sent me.
WOW! That's really nice. I hope the one you
sent me turns out to be so nice.
Congratulations!

How long from pollenation to flower?
I would be very happy if my first breeding results were half as nice!

The dorsal has reflexed a little more at the base since this photo was taken on Sunday, so it resembles a large barbigerum even more. Hopefully, this will be a good first step in breeding compact bulldogs. I was destined to do this cross, BARBigerum x HELLAs, as my mother's name is Barbara Hella.:wink:
