Gosh, what a great looking plant!!
Michael Tibbs, goodness Michael Tibbs. I haven’t seen you since were students together in White Plains back in the mid 90’s, maybe ‘95 or ‘96.
I thought that you were still in Orchids somewhere.
That sure is a great flower! I just never seem to get tired looking at them.
Assuming of course you are the same Michael Tibbs?

Oh those Disas!!!

Top class roth! Wow.

 

[NEslipper]

Amazing roth, an 8.1cm dorsal is exceptional. It sets a new standard. I’m assuming this is one of Dave’s crosses from Paph Paradise. I know he had Dark Angel AM/AOS x Howard P Martin FCC/AOS, is this a different cross, or just a typo?

 

[tnyr5]

Agreed, 8.1 is insane.

 

[Ozpaph]

the dorsal is 80mm across (not flattened)??
Thats an awesome flower.

 

[Duck Slipper]

That's awesome!
Is this a first bloom?
I'm looking forward to the next bud!

I bought an unflowered seedling here in Europe

Oh those Disas!!!

Thanks Bill. There will be an amazing show of them in a few weeks

 

[Ozpaph]

That is truly massive
