Paph. Lefty Kei

(William Ambler x sanderianum) - One of our favorite sanderianum primaries. In bloom this morning; the first of seven blooming size seedlings that were just listed today on our website. Easy to grow and re-bloom, but they get to be large plants. Can have as many as 6 flowers on a well grown plant, first bloom seedlings normally have three.

Nice one Tom but don't you mean complex rather primary. I just got two myself, one from the Connecticut group and one from Doug George. Both BS but no spikes.
Is that Wm. Matthews blooming in the background?

 

[tomkalina]

You're right, Rick. With William Ambler as one parent, it's definitely a complex hybrid. :wink:

That's Paph. lawrenceanum 'Fox Valley' blooming in the background. 13.3 cm horizontal natural spread on the largest of three flowers and a 6.4 cm dorsal sepal width. Dorsal could be wider, but it's still fairly competitive.

Nice, Tom -- lovely petals!

It sure is. I can see the lawrenceanum now. Thanks Tom

Very nice. That is a cross I would love.

I'd call that a secondary hybrid rather than a complex.

I love how orangey it is; is that the true color? :clap:

The color of the pouch is unusual and outstanding. This is
a Paph. I really admire.
