Paph. Alice Barrios first bloom seedling

[Ed M]

This is a first bloom seedling of Paphiopedilum Alice Barrios, a hybrid of Paph. primulinum x Paph. Norito Hasegawa. (Norito Hasegawa is malipoense x armeniacum). The bright green flowers are four inches across. This is the second one of these seedlings I've bloomed which I got from Windy Hill Orchids a couple of years ago. The first one was yellow. I think this green is kinda neat and there is no reddish color on the anther shield unlike many of this cross. Its a consecutive bloomer. There is one nice bud coming-on which is hidden behind the flower, and it looks like there may be at least one more after that.

Nice example of the cross! Your Paphs are always seem to be grown to their greatest potential, Ed.
