Paph. Liberty Taiwan 'Charlie'

[paworsport]

marvelous flower ! Does it come from Taiwan ? I have 3 different LT at home from In Charm and Tatung Orchids. Not the fastest growers but they are growing regularly and are close to flower size. Hope tha have same results !
The 3 are from different crosses and have not the same type of leaves.

I must have iiiiiiiiiiT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Natural spread is 11.5 cm's.

Thanks John. Just wonder how much does hangianum increase the NS of micranthum. Bigger than any micranthum X parvis crosses. It is just a wonderful cross.

Beautiful flower John, wonderful form in particular.
To heighten the color, yet keep the 'all parvi' look, I would consider using the pollen of your Liberty Taiwan to put on Magic Lantern, for size and softer pink colors, I would consider using Liberty Taiwan pollen on something like Lola Bird (emersonii x micranthum) or (niveum x hangianum) or (delenatii x hangianum) if you have any of these. Just a thought

Stop teasing me with those suggestions! !!

 

[John Boy]

Here's one more:
with your Liberty Taiwan pollen you should be able to pollinate at least 6 other flowers. Not much point wasting them, since you'd want to make sure to use quality like that...

I'm just playing with tooth-picks myself right now....:

Is that how you store your pollen?

 

[John Boy]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooway!!! That's pollinating in progress, and most of them are going to be stored later tonight. That wil then include "Eppendorf-Caps", Silica-Gel and so forth...

I don't really like parvis…

but that one's pretty darn awesome. Great shape.

Heather, I never questioned your sanity... until now!

Are you willing to elaborate on this proces either here in this topic or somewere else on this forum?

Or is this a top secret ninja technique?

 

[John M]

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

The tag has been rewritten now; but, I think it originally came from either Zephyrus Orchids or Cloud's.

If it came from either of the two mentioned vendors, then I think it likely did come from Taiwan; but, you'd have to check with them to be sure.


Leo: Thanks for the cross advice. I'm pretty limited in my choice of Parvi's to use; but, I'm sure I'll manage to use up all the pollen with what I do have. I do have a niveum x hang. That's probably a cross I'll make.

Stunning!!!
I have made a few flasks of this cross. I’d be happy to get a couple like this bloom. This is certainly in my top 5 favourite blooms on Slippertalk this year. Maybe we could have a Slippertalk slipper of the year award.

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

I'm with Ross. It is Paph perfection.
