New Paphothallid hybrid created!!!

[Candace]

I think I'm going to have to turn off my phone and not answer e-mails for a while because this may be the find of the century. People have been trying to cross paphs with phrags for quite some time, but I've managed to cross a pleurothallid to a paphiopedilum. Don't believe me? I have proof!! If anyone is interested in an interview, you may contact my agent.

 

[Elena]

Oh dear.

Is that a Delrosi or something oke:

 

[Candace]

Ding, ding, ding we have a winner!

 

[Elena]

Is that the first bloom? Might turn out okay next time... that's if there's a next time for this one.

I bought mine before realising what I was getting myself into :sob: Hope it doesn't turn out like that.

 

[Rick]

Or is it a Bulbopedium? What does it smell like?

 

[biothanasis]

Are u sure???? Is this a cross between paph and pleuro??? Whatever it is it is beautiful!!!! Nice hands, too...:wink:

 

[fundulopanchax]

Wow! DNA confirmation then a splash in one of the big journals!

Congrats!

[Heather]

Yuck!

(sorry Candace but that's a dog....)

 

[practicallyostensible]

Wow, that's depressing. Better luck next time Candace.

 

[Candace]

This is what it looked like last year, so I think it was reacting to the cold chill I gave it.

It's got another bud that looks normal, but yikes this one turned out ugly.

 

[Heather]

Some of these multi (roth!) parvi crosses just boggle my mind. But that's just me...

 

[NYEric]

Just stick a straw in and blow the pouch out.

 

[rdlsreno]

I like them Both!!!

[tocarmar]

I would rather have the bud blast then open 1 like that.

So was the Pleu the pod parent? I'll have to try that myself, NOT! Maybe you can get a JC for "pedaless paph"

 

[Candace]

Yeah, that's the ticket...I deserve a JC!

 

[SlipperFan]

So what are you going to call your new Genus? Pleuropetalum? Paphiothallid?

 

[Candace]

Hey, it bloomed again. I think it looks a bit better than it's last flowering.

14.5 cm wide x 8.5 cm

 

[Heather]

Definitely an improvement!
