Paph parishii pollen

[gore42]

The parishii that I have in spike now is a division of an awarded plant, 'SW College' AM/AOS. Doesn't look like it will be the greatest blooming, perhaps just because it was divided last year... looks like it will hold only 4 blooms this year, but when it was awarded, it had 8 or 9 on a spike with great color and impressive size.

I have some pollen saved from another parishii, this one:

This one has been pulled for judging, but didn't have deep enough color the time that it was considered, and I didn't use a light mover, so the dorsals were turned to one side. Its a great plant (8 blooms/spike on the first blooming), so I'll use this pollen if I don't find anything better, but I thought I'd check around.

What I'd really like is pollen from one of the more recent crosses that have a higher bloom count, like 'Jeanie' AM/AOS and a few others I've heard of that carry a dozen blooms or more. I've heard of another called '13 flowers' or something like that, too.

But I'd consider any parishii pollen

TIA!

Just thought I'd let you know that the Phal. stuartiana and the Paph.callosum got here ok.

Thanks,

Sigh. If mine would only bloom!

I don't think I posted these photos of this year's blooms, but maybe I did. Not as many blooms as last year, but two spikes (and the plant carried two pods until January.

and

I took photos for a 3D of this blooming, but since the spike didn't reach above the level of the leaves, it didn't really work out, and I haven't published it. I'll try again when 'SW College' blooms... the spike is already getting tall.

That's fantastic Matt.

I have a parishii that's been in low spike for 2 months now. Last year it blasted, but this round looks a bit healthier. If it blooms I'll be looking for pollen.
