A new complex hybrid opened. It is a cross between Paph. Atlantinet and Paph. Blanche Sawyer. I made the cross back in 2002, and was trying to breed for light pink's to pinks. I don't care for the shape too much but I like how the color turned out:
Hopefully I can use this plant as a stepping stone, and cross it to better shaped whites or greens to get some large well shaped flowers that are nice pink in color. The reason I wanted to Use Paph. Atlantinet, is because it has Paph. delenatii in it's background, and it also breeds. Paph. Atlantinet is Paph. Atlantis x Madame Martinet. And Paph. Madame Martinet is callosum x delenatii. Paph. Atlantinet is an old complex and was registered back in 1939 by Vacherot-Lecoufle:
A similar old hybrid in our collection (and is currently in-bloom) is Paph. Aladin 'Meteor' AM/AOS. This is a hybrid between Paph. Atlantis (an old complex) and Paph. delenatii. It was also registered by Vacherot-Lecoufle in 1936:
The other parent that I used was Paph. Blanche Sawyer 'Snowman' AM/AOS an old white complex:
