Paph henryanum x tigrinum

[edkravcik]

First bloom seedling. Very vigorous plant. Flower has been open one week and is just shy of 10 cm across

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Sounds like it's got potential, and good sized flower for the cross. I'm guessing it's a fairly small grower?

 

[Erythrone]

I don't see the picture...

 

[Trithor]

I will have to take your word for it. Is it colourful as well?

 

[edkravcik]

Hoping this does the trick

 

[edkravcik]

The plant is about 30 cm across. The second growth is nearly mature

I have second unbloomed seedling which is actually closer to 40cm across which is huge given the parents

 

[Trithor]

I was expecting a slightly greater intensity of colour. The markings are interesting, form is a bit open. Do you know what the individual parents looked like (Henry is very variable both in colour and form, and that might have had a strong influence on the result)
How easily does it grow?

 

[Ozpaph]

got about 50% of each parent.

 

[edkravcik]

I am not familiar with which clones were used in the species parents and have not seen the parents.

For the first year it sulked then it took off and now grows like a weed. The second plant I have is the same but even larger

 

[emydura]

Nice. The result is what I would have expected.

 

[Erythrone]

cute!

 

[SlipperFan]

I guess I like both species better.

 

[Trithor]

All the Wossner Tigerhenrys that I have seen are a lot more spotted and the segments a bit tighter in form and shape, which was why I asked if there was any information about the parental clones. With the maternal plant having been henry, one would have expected the result to have been even more so.
Having said that, a tigrinum baby that 'grows like a weed' and flowers is nothing to be sneezed at!

 

[NYEric]

Show us the plants.

 

[Leo Schordje]

hopefuly easier to grow than tigrinum. very nice Wossner Tigerhenry

 

[edkravcik]

The larger non flowering plant

 

[edkravcik]

And the plant that is in flower

 

[atlantis]

I guess I like both species better.

Agreed.

It´s a nice flower, though.
The flowered plant looks like a Vanda. It seems quite big!!

 

[SlipperKing]

got about 50% of each parent.

I was going to say the same.

One of the best from this mating
