Paph Global Challenger x gratrixianum

[littlefrog]

No name yet, as far as I know.

Another early arrival. The first one out of a batch of 10 or so that I have to bloom. The gratrixianum gives it a tall stem (and narrows out the petals...). Kind of cool, I'll have to see the others.

Paph praestans to the right, and in the background is another random complex.

I like it!!

The gratix is nice but, well, you know me, I'm diggin' the praestans.

Very nice, I'm enjoying the eye candy in the background too. Is the dorsel on the big one in the background for real?

 

[SlipperFan]

Looks like you have some nice blooms going, Rob.

Yep, that is for real. It has excellent color. Form isn't all that great though. And no, I can't remember what the cross is! I'll try to remember to look tonight.

Reminds me of the very old hybrids of the early 1900's. Whats old is new again...I think it's neat....my gratrixianum should be open soon for a comparison.
