Paph (charlesworthii x Mem. George A. Benedict)

[Ross]

Here's the best shaped flower of the ones I've bloomed from this cross. A few measurements:
Leaf span tip to tip: 10" (25cm)
Total width: 8.4cm
Total height: 7.2cm
Dorsal width: 6.7cm
Petal width: 2.4cm

Whole plant

My apologies for the blurry photo.

That's wonderfully alien.

I like this tea cup! How about crossing this with Tyke or Doll's Kobold?

That's wonderfully a different shade of charlesworthii!
I like Jason's idea!

Good ideas. I already have pods set on henryanum and Mary Zdilla from the previous bloom. The flower has decent petal width, but I'd like wider without increasing the plant size. Any suggestions?

What would happen with a niveum?

I would think that there are some smaller compact complexs out there. How about Small World? It has a great track record as a breeder.
Henryanum? Their dorsals are usually a little small & you already have that with this one. OL has/had King Henry VIII (Warrior x henry), which were just darling!
