this has already been in bloom for months, unreal soft but intense pastel pink, lemon yellow & lime green, very "pastel" and girlie.. especially next to the browns of the "booths".. good size flowers for the plant and good intense coloring? will stake flower spike for better display next time
though the flower spike tip seems to be enlarging, so may be sucessive to?
the coloring would be impressive on the booths sand lady??..hmmm

It is very pretty. The coloring, thogh not as inteses as, say, Vangard, is very even, and this makes the pastel very pleasing to me. I doubt the last bd is going to bloom, but if you baby it, it might. Any Cochlo x Coryo cross that holds 3+ flowers is a winner, IMO. I don't understand what Booth's Sand Lady, but if you are considering crossing the two for better color, I would consider bac crossing onto Mt. Toro or even rothschildianum. On the other hand, putting this back onto Avalon Mist (most likely they used the album variety) might gain a Cory x Cochlo that is actually an album!!
 
try a better shot.. the inside down into the pouch is intense lemon yellow
edge of pouch is yellow- and the flower is very good size compared to other
paphs I have of similar type parents -
