Paph. fairreanum 'Furgie'

First bloom on a single growth plant from a cross I made many years ago. This is the first seedling to bloom from the cross.

Very balanced markings on the dorsal, Is it cuppy?

"Cuppy". What does that mean?

Lovely.

"Cuppy". What does that mean?

maybe he tried to say the flower shape is not flat enough from the AOS judging standard point of view.

A lovely species!

I love the lines, color and stance on this one!

Must be very rewarding to see one to finally bloom after years and years of waiting!
I just self-pollinated my fairrie recently, and the flower is drying up brown instead of just dropping off, so I'm hopeful that it's taken! Yay!!!

The wait is awful! And I moved multiple times and my schedule wasn't always conducive to great growing so these took longer than expected to grow to blooming size

Well done!
