Paph (Barbi-Doll X Honeycomb Creek 'Butterdish' AM/AOS)

First bloom on a compact plant ! From Deerwood Orchids. Very cute. I like this.

Any idea why they made the cross?

 

[SlipperKing]

Miniaturization! Dang it retained a lot of the helenae, esp the pouch! Nice move Ross!

I agree nice move Ross but what helenae? Barbi-Doll = barbigerum x fairrie, Honeycomb Creek is a Hellas kid

 

[SlipperFan]

I like it. Great colors and patterns.

 

[Ross]

Nicely done, Peter. I've bloomed three this fall, and this one has better colors. Unfortunately, so far narrow petals have dominated.

 

[Ross]

Peter, can you give dimensions on the plant and flower? The plant size has been "all over the board" on this cross.

 

[W. Beetus]

Very nice!

Hi Ross, this flower is about 7.8 cm NS. Plant has a leaf span of 10.5 inches, I left it in the same 3 or 3.5 inch pot that it came in with.

I wouldn't kick it out of my collection.
