Paph. Orion's Belt

[Candace]

This is a hybrid of Muriel Constance x emersonii growing in semi hydro in the g.h. It's a first bloom seedling originally from Orchids Limited. I'm pretty happy with it, though it probably still needs to open and hopefully flatten a little more since it's only been open 3 days. The coloration on the staminode isn't symmetrical but other than that I can't complain.

Lovely flower Candace, don't mind that one at all.

 

[paphioboy]

Very wide petals...

 

[TADD]

I am impressed!

That's awesome, Candace! Every Autumn, I look forward to seeing Orion rise in the evenings, and admire the three main stars of his belt, Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka...

Nicely grown, Candace! :clap: From what I've seen, Brachy x emersonii crosses tend to produce nice, full flowers.

 

[Candace]

Thanks all. This is my first emersonii hybrid to bloom out but as everyone has posted the hybrids seem to be much easier to grow and bloom. It's also 3 growths already while my straight emersonii grows slooowly along.

 

[Elena]

That's really nice. I like the delicate colours.

 

[Barbara]

Very nice. I'm developing a growing love for those emersonii hybrids.

 

[SlipperFan]

Good first bloom.

 

[toddybear]

Very nice indeed!

 

[NYEric]

That's another nice one.

 

[Jason Fischer]

Cool! So far I haven't really seen a bad flower from this cross. Gotta love that emersonii as it really fills out the petals when used in breeding.

 

[Gcroz]

Can't wait to see mine bloom! Very nice!!!

 

[SlipperKing]

.... I can't complain.... If you do! I'll be on the first flight out and grab it from you!! It is sweet.

 

[Bolero]

Interesting how it's turned out, the emersonii is really obvious.

I love it.
