Paph roth

[SlipperKing]

This one came from ehanes, no way close to his roth's standards.

Nothing too great but it's a flowering roth which counts for something. Is this one of the Z2135 crosses?

 

[SlipperKing]

yes

 

[Linus_Cello]

I'd keep it.

That's an interesting new growth at the base.

Hard to judge when the plant is small like this. It has great pouch colour, near solid red, good petal presentation and dorsal is boldly marked. I think this could surprise on subsequent bloomings when a bit bigger.

 

[SlipperKing]

A multi-color growth hey? LOL
I like your thinking Gary. I'm on the same track it is blooming late in the season. Seeing how it shipped from the far NW of the USA to TX, it must of triggered a bloom hormone.

It has a nice deep red pouch. It is unusual how the petals quickly fall away at the ends. From memory mine had a superior petal stance on subsequent bloomings. So hopefully this one will too on a bigger plant.

It had nothing to do with my standards...I had three blooming sibs and this one wasnt in bud so I sold it

 

[SlipperFan]

Not bad, for a first bloom, IMO.

 

[Spaph]

Any roth in bloom is great : )

 

[Camellkc]

Not bad, the pouch color is red!

 

[l8dbug]

I didn't know Santa liked orchids too. Awesome flower I love the color of the pouch.

 

[SlipperKing]

Nothing personal Ed. Just comparing the three you got to bloom where of high quality and that this sibling doesn't come up to that level. In other words, not your personal standards but the plants

 

[Ozpaph]

it has good colour

 

[labskaus]

Well, there is variation in every cross, but I bet this one can do better on a stronger plant. Great colour so far.

 

[Trithor]

I would be happy to buy this one 'in a flash' from what I have seen in the pictures, I believe it has the potential to surprise.

 

[SlipperKing]

I'll cut the spike and try for a re-bloom, hopefully in the cooler part of the year. I should get improvement.
