This got a 83 pt. last Wednesday. It has two flowers and one bud. I like this second generation Paph. henryanum. It is a cross between Rainbow Sky x Pacific Shamrock. Paph. Rainbow Sky is a primary hybrid with P, henryanum with Paph. Elfstone. The NS is 10.4 cm. with a DW 8.5.

That is a very nice complex. Looks like most of the henry influence is gone...well the spots anyway!

That is what I was thinking. The bloom looks great. Very unique shape.

You can see the influence of Paph henryanum from the pouch which is usually pink but since it loss its color, it becomes cream to creamy white. Also, the pouch shape and waviness of the petals is very Paph. henryanum.

Thanks for the measurement! That's really a nice sice for a Complex Paph!
