Hi!
I'm embarassed to say that I found this orchid in my greenhouse that I forgot I even had. It is Paph. liemianum x gratrixianum. I purchased it about ten years ago back when Ray Rands was advertising his seedling six-packs in the AOS Bulletin. It is the only seedling from him that I've managed to not kill (so far).
And here is another close-up:
This orchid hasn't bloomed for me, although it certainly seems to be large enough. I guess it probably needs a little more light and a lot more love.
I was searching the RHS hybrid list and haven't been able to find this cross registered. Is Paph. liemianum considered a species or a variety of chamberlainianum or something else? I've been wondering what this flower will look like and haven't found anything on the internet. Any suggestions?
Best Regards,
Nik
