Two new seedlings opened from this cross (Black Lace x wenshanense). It looks like this cross is pretty variable. The first seedling has more of a Brachy influence with rounded flowers, while the second flower has inherited more "roth" genes. The flower is about twice as large (14 cm across with 4 cm wide petals). I personaly like the first one the best. The last picture is a comparison shot of the 2 flowers.

Only the coloring would tell you they are related.

 

[fbrem]

wow, both awesome, not sure which I like best.

 

[shakkai]

WOW! Both of these are super. Though I think I prefer the second one, its probably not the better flower from a judges point of view.

 

[Elena]

I would be happy with either. Or both

 

[NYEric]

Yep, me too!

 

[Candace]

I think I prefer #1 too, but I'd steal either when you weren't looking. ;>

Oh the day I get to OL I am so going to tax their patience! :rollhappy:

I am a very patient man.........

Robert are either multiforal? both are great but the 2nd would have to have at least one more to be super desirable.

 

[Drorchid]

The first 2 seedlings that bloomed last year each had 2 flowers per stem. These for some reason only have one flower per stem. I am guessing the next time when they bloom they probably will have 2 flowers (maybe they got a little dry, and the 2nd flower aborted).

Very nice! I like the first one!!!

Yowser; I couldn't choose, I'd have to take them both too...

 

[SlipperFan]

They are both gorgeous, but I think I prefer the down-swept petals on the second one. The first one is the more common "round" shape. I'd be happy with either one, though.

What is Black Lace? You mention 'roth', but is it roth x another Brachy?

 

[PaphMadMan]

Looks like Black Lace is 1/4 roth and 3/4 brachy. Easy to do occasional look ups on the RHS website. http://www.rhs.org.uk/plants/registerpages/orchidsearch.asp

 

[JeanLux]

I prefer the 1st one, even if there is no roth visible! Jean

Thanks for the link.

I too vote for the first one. I've got a couple myself and am waiting for them to bloom. So Robert, Who will be attending the Paph forum this year? You or Jason?

 

[toddybear]

I wouldn't turn either down!
