Still the dorsal is striped and the petals spotted just like mine. The pouch looks about the same. The petals on mine are longer but mine was not made with both alba parents.
Yes, it's mottled; but, the colour saturation of Iantha Stage is more muted and that's what I'd expect to see with this cross as well. However, it's really hard to say for sure by the little bit of foliage visible in the photo.paphreek said:
I have heard that does make a difference....and sukhakulii does always seem to be quite dominant when used in primary crosses. If those petals were just a bit longer, I'd say for sure, this is Paph. Recovery. Perhaps these two plants represent the shorter petal extreme of what's possible with this cross. Still, it's not what I'd ever expect. I'd like to see more phili in there.bigleaf said:
I would call it an 'interesting' Paph Recovery. The ones I have seen have longer and pointier petals. Worth keeping nonetheless...
My thoughts, also.
sukhakulii x wardii (Saiun)?That's a point I was making in another post. I like surprises. I like it when the result does not match the prediction. In this case at least, the result appears to me much better than anticipated.
Then again, if this is not a Recovery, what else could it be?
