Lovely. Such a deep colour,

[Ozpaph]

looks great.
Is the cultivar name spelt correctly? If so, what does it mean?
Could you post a larger photo, please?

 

[JAB]

Nice! Congrats!
From where did you acquire?

 

[OrchidFix]

Good Morning Everyone!

Thanks for the compliments!

Ozpaph: Yes, the cultivar named is spelled correctly. I named it after the gold dragon in Christopher Paolini's "Inheritance" series.

As soon as I figure out how to post a larger photo- I will. Being limited to 97 kb makes posting difficult for me. Most iPhone's photos stand at 2-4 MB. My camera does 6-12 MB easily. I have a special folder of "sized down" photos I've made just for slippertalk.

JAB: I purchased the week before last from HOF. James had taken photos and I didn't think much of it at first. But as soon as I saw the plant...! As usual, James has the very best plants.

In another 3-4 years, I expect a solid FCC out of this plant.

Congratulations! That is indeed drool-worthy, a quality paph.

I love Dollgoldi and that one is wonderful. Fully deserved of the award.

 

[cattmad]

that dorsal is huge, do you know which cross this came out of?, I'm pretty sure HOF has a few different strains of dollgoldi

 

[abax]

Outstanding color on that beauty. I think this might be
the best one I've seen in a very long time. WOOHOO on
the award!

 

[SlipperKing]

Congrats. Single flowered when awarded?

Thanks,
