Those long purple petals are fantastic. This turned out a lot better than I would've imagined.

Beautiful photo, Rick.

 

[Candace]

I like!

 

[paphioboy]

I second that, Candace! it looks like lowii with more twisty petals, plus the leopard spots of parishii... wish i could find it here...

WOW! I love lowii to begin with, but this is truly beautiful. Now I want one. Let's see...I know I can find more space here somewhere.

That might be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.. If I doesn't count my wife and my children of course
Congratulations... now I desperatly need to find one of those.

Thanks to all for the kind comments. It has been a reliable bloomer, a testament to the concept of hybrid vigor. I don't know why this isn't more readily available, due perhaps to the relative scarcity of parishii as breeding stock.

Rick
