Paph. lowii "New Horizon' x "Grand Masterpiece" first from flask

[kiwi]

First flowering of New Horizon x Grand Masterpiece from Sam. Deflasked in 2015. Not bad colour, shame that petals twisted. This is a two growth plant and is kept at a minimum of 17oC and a maximum of 34oC in glasshouse.

Not so sure it is due to my growing conditions so much. This one plant is significantly more vigorous than any of the others from the flask. They are still a year or so away from flowering.

mine are 2 years away, I think

Looks very nice. What are the dimensions of the flower?

That is an incredible growing to flower it within 3 years. I have one seedling of this cross and it is growing very nicely. But I can't see it flowering for a while yet. Can you post a photo showing the plant. I'm interested in seeing how big it is.

I have a seedling of lowii Red Delight x GM which is much bigger. I think that may flower next year.

Outstanding, thanks for sharing.

Impressively growing.. 3 years after deflask, I must say!

Would it be possible to see the plant in toto?

Kind regards,

Nice to see this. I have the same cross just coming in to bud, so will be interesting to compare the outcome (provided I don't blast it )

Not bad! I got a flask too. Mine are still a few years from flowering.

Good growing.

A nice one. As others have said, good growing!

I don't consider it bad that the petals twist. Is that considered a negative when getting it judged or something?

This must be a very vigorous plant . Unfortunately the flowers are at best 'average'. I obtained a division of 'Grand Masterpiece' at the WOC in Miami at the sam time as Sam Tsui and it was truly amazing.

Do you have a photo of Grand Masterpiece? What were it’s dimensions

Photo here. I remember Sam saying at a meeting here, that Grand Masterpiece had 8 flowers on a spike and each flower was 24 cm across.
