It's finally bloomed, again after four or five years. Paph Mark Hasegawa = Paph (rothschildianum x concolor)

Nice, thanx for sharing.

 

[SlipperFan]

Neat flowers! I like a lot!

 

[Candace]

Cool. Maybe it needs a chill to push it along?

 

[Ernie]

Any idea what roths clone was used? These hybrids remade with newer roths can sometimes be less infrequent bloomers, yes?

Paphreek,
Nice flowers! I bought two of these plants from Norita a number of yrs back, both are multi growth. I think one is trying to spike at the moment, too low down to tell for sure. Thanks for the show!! I hope I'll get to post soon too.

I really like this guy...

Paphreek, I think you personally need an FCC for getting it to flower.

I got this one in 2002 from EFG Orchids at the Chicagoland Orchid Festival. It bloomed in 2003 with straighter petals. I figured, no big deal. It'll bloom bigger and better next year. Little did I know that it would be 5 years before the next blooming.

Candace, I tried all the tricks, including chilling it and even putting it in the spot I got my Cooksonii to bloom in and ignoring it. Nothing worked. I finally put it on the lower shelf in the grow room and it bloomed.

I like these beautiful blooms a lot!!! => lower shelf means less light ??? Jean

Great looking flower Ross, and the plant itself is awesome.

 

[paphioboy]

I say it's well worth the wait..!! Very nice flower...

 

[toddybear]

Stunning! To bad there is such a lag between blooms!

Thanks, Roy. It seems like I'm a sucker for the sales pitch: "You'll probably never be able to get it to bloom."

Yes, it does get less light, although that may be coincidental.

Ron, your name's already in the pot! I went to look to see if the roth had a cultivar name and all I saw was an extra tag with "Ron-NY" on it. oke:
