Wow - that's amazing. Why can't we have hangianum hybrids here in the US?!

:drool::drool: SPECTACULAR!!! :drool::drool:

 

[JeanLux]

Geat shape, beautiful colors and veining pattern!!!! Jean

 

[NYEric]

excellent! Thanx for posting a foto of the whole plant.

 

[Bolero]

Awardable and awesome!

That is looking almost perfect to me.

 

[paphioboy]

that is one of the prettiest parvi hybrids that I have ever seen.... Love everything about it...

 

[SlipperKing]

Multiple blooms it would be nice just to get one and try to bloom!:rollhappy:

 

[Wendy]

WOW...I like that! The flower is perfect. Does it stay that flat and round as the flower ages? :drool::drool::drool:

 

[fbrem]

Mind blowing shape...

that's what immediately stunned me, oh yeah the color is great too, awesome one. Not as much hang influence as I would hacve expected.

Thanks again everybody. I'll post the measurments later today. Yes, Wendy. It holds this nice shape right to the end, which was almost 8 weeks last year. Although, I do seem to remember that the colour faded a bit towards the very end. I think I'm going to back-cross it with my hangianum 'First Class Charlie' pollen which I stored last year. 'Should be a nice mating. Paph. hangianum 'First Class Charlie' photos: http://http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16795&highlight=Class

 

[John Boy]

now that... is a very!!!!!!!!! very good flower!

@John:
PS: I think that most micrathum hybrids (at least the "species-cross-near" ones) fade quite heavily over time. At least mine do.

'cause John wouldn't be able to taunt us! oke:
Should be a very nice mating but I'd be tempted to self it, it's sooo goood on it's on!

 

[valenzino]

Nice one and good try to backcross to hang...also a good one but probably you will have an outcome progeny with lighter colours...maybe good maybe not

 

[Mathias]

Wonderful! :drool::drool:

 

[Mrs. Paph]

The exclamation in my head when I saw this picture load included profanity...the shape, the patterns...consider the screen filled with drooly-faces.

 

[John M]

Wow.....'Glad you like it!

Rose, my intension would be to create a race of very round-flowered seedlings with a deeper yellow background colour and a soft raspberry red netting overlay. Selfing it would create a variety of forms ranging from very micranthum-like to very hangianum-like. It wouldn't produce a bunch of uniformly similar flowering plants.

 

[John M]

John, this is excellent. Should get an award. How big is it (NS)???

Natural spread is 11.5 cm's.

 

[Ross]

Such an incredibly well proportioned flower, John. If you're into judging, it should be shown, if possible.

 

[Kevin]

Wow! I like it! Where'd you get it?
