Paph Johanna Burkhardt 'Stephen' FCC/AOC 2022

[Ozpaph]

Won its FCC last year (and Australian Orchid Hybrid of the Year) and put on 2 new growths. Both with spikes. A vigorous grower thankfully. Colour may be slightly lighter. Petals a bit 'fatter'. Dorsal about the same 60mm. Staminode on flower one a bit 'wonky'.

Looks amazing. Good growing

Outstanding! The color is still rich. I will have to look at the prior year's pictures for comparison.

Posted under the awards section I think

WOW Stephen. I wasn't aware this plant won Australian hybrid of the year. That is fantastic and well deserved. A big congratulations. That is such a thrill. I noticed that the last 5 Australian Hybrid of the year winners have been slippers.

That plant is truly outstanding in every sense. Sounds like an incredible grower to have multiple spikes so quickly.

This would be a cool cross with SB 'Paracombe', both Australian Hybrid of the year winners.
