Paph. Olympic Emerald 'Golden Gem'

[user 9150]

We are expecting snow tonight in the Portland, Oregon Metro area. So...,lets have some cheer! The Complex Paph season is just beginning. Below is a photo of Paph. Olympic Emerald 'Golden Gem', it is one that is under evaluation. Yellow complex are very popular here and I would like to see more of them. I have decided to do a sib cross with Paph. Olympic Emerald 'Hillsview' AM/AOS which is a very green flower. Both have tall stems from the Paph. Olympic Mountains.

That's a keeper for sure. We had snow here the Monday after I returned home from the Slipper Symposium, however it didn't stay long. Yea !!

Under evaluation? Oh well, just give me a call if it doesn't fit your measures :wink:
Awesome flower!
Sib cross sounds great, you can be sure I'll take a few of those if they make their way to Europe.

Great potential, definitely one to hold on to. I love that flower!

very nice flower, I love green and gold. Hope to see the few I have in flower this year. I have buds from white complex but not from my green.:sob:

Hi Theresa, good looking flower and great to meet you at the Slipper Symposium. My father-in-law lives in Portland, so hopefully sometime I will be able to stop by for a visit. Regards, Doug
