Paph. King Henry XVIII

[Drorchid]

This is a second bloom on this seedling. This is a cross between Paph. Warrior and Paph. henryanum. I like how the colors turned out.

Oooh, I really love the petals! And the spotting is wicked cool, too!

Robert, I see the henryanum influence, but what is the Warrior parentage? (I am not at all in the complex ones!) (Until last friday). Jean

Increadibly intense pouch color (from the henry Im sure). Drool :drool:

Jean, the one parent, Paph Warrior 'Greens Variety' is an old spotted complex, made in 1920 by Sanders. Here is a picture:

Great shape considering the parents, excellent colour and I really like the rather subtle way the henryanum added to this flower. In the few other crosses I've seen the henryanum uses its elbows much more.
Very nice result.

Robert, I would suspect you used the old complex in this cross to avoid ploidy issues and yield fertile offspring?

Best wishes, Carsten
