Is it just me or does it seem kinda small for the bloom to be already starting to open? It is a first time bloomer so maybe the flowers will be slightly smaller?
good luck with the cross.
Personally I'd just buy a flask from Sam - OIZ443 Paph. Mrs. Reginald Young (sanderianum 'Dr. John Doherty' AM/AOS x lowii var. album $125.00
'Goldrush')
This expects to have some long and spiral petaled flowers. This is the 1st step of the two steps albinal
breeding for albinal. Hence no album will be expect but it is good for breeding. Limited! Net price!
I mostly do my own breeding for fun and pratice. I have the lab, materials, everything I'd need. It's true my parents are not awarded and I make kill them in culture if unlucky but that doesn't matter to me
All about the pratice and fun of doing it! Plus I save my money to buy more plants this way too
