Paph. Para (Edithae,Dora Crawshaw,Dora)

[SYL]

 

[Ozpaph]

unusual colour - very nice.
What are the parents?

Cool cross: bellatulum x charlesworthii (from 1903)... but is this what we are looking at? I can see charlesworthii but where are the bellatulum traits (spotting, short stem)? Does charlesworthii simply rub them out? Are the leaves mottled?

 

[Susie11]

Nice.

I thought the parentage of Para was one of those unknowns?

 

[SlipperFan]

Pretty, delicate green.

 

[SlipperKing]

That is a very cool flower for its colors or lack of!

RHS gives the parentage. In retrospect I do see belletalum in the cross: just look at the pouch!
