Paph. roths X laevigatum

[Tom-DE]

Have you seen a flower photo of this cross? I believe R. J. Rands made this cross before and advertised them on AOS magazine many many years ago.

and please don't show me a photo of Paph. St. Swithin.........

.................but that's what the cross is, St Swithin. I think all the good modern SS are with laevigatum.
Sorry I dont have a photo of the Rands cross.

Exactly. It is not possible to show a photo of this cross without showing a St Swithin.

Is this the most commonly used form of phillipinense in St Swithins? If you want longer petals than I think you would use roebellinii.

That is why I need a photo of this particular cross made by R.J. Rands. I am sure some of the Paph growers in U.S. had purchased seedlings of this cross from him..., and I like to see a photo of this particular cross if someone else has bloomed it also.

My plant has bloomed a couple times but I didn't take any photo. The flower doesn't look like the typical St. Swithin...IMO, it has nicer flowers, color and form look more like a mini PEOY. It is a relatively compact plant as well, smaller than the regular St. Swithin.
