Nice pics!! Tim, I like the 2nd one better. It has more color to it.

Me too.

... It has more color to it.

I wonder if that is in part due to flash vs. soft diffused and somewhat back-lighting.

 

[Mrs. Paph]

The shape of that second one is so nice! Not even sure what exactly about it... the proportion and the angles are just very pleasing I think - the 'triangle' formed by the dorsal and petals!

 

[Bolero]

I like both of them, they have some nice qualities and display beautifully.

 

[Grandma M]

I prefer the second one but I like the pouch of the first one better.

 

[Greenpaph]

The second one has incredible form! The dorsal is so much nicer than #1!

:clap::clap:

What's the parentage on Lyxel?
Is there some tonsum involved here?

 

[bench72]

Heather, looks like there's only a couple of species involved but not tonsum. Here's the breakdown:-

56.25% callosum
25% lawrenceanum
18.75% curtisii


Can you believe, I did a family tree chart thing for it and then worked out the %... I really need to update my Orchidwiz software or whatever it is called...
