Paph rothschildianum 'Borneo' FCC/AOS

[Justin]

Many years ago I had a division of this plant, but there was some debate here whether it was a true division. Turns out that plant was dying and the poor blooming was basically a death spike. That was painful.

Well a few years back I got another division from a fellow member. It has now bloomed, and with this one there is no doubt. Great plant and the flower is very dark.

Looks great. I had one once but for whatever reason couldn't get it to bloom.

My personal tastes lean towards MM, but that is still a wonderful piece of history you have there! It deserves to be grown and appreciated. Congrats on the great blooming!

Nice to See that such "old" plants are still around! Congrats in blooming it!

Good one Justin. You own a bit of history there.

Nice and dark. I love roths and finally have my first ever crosses in spike. Can’t wait until they open up.

An old clone but still my favorite. You definitely have to have this clone if you don't have the room for the monster-sized modern ones. The selfing plants also have compact growths too.
What is the LS?

What a beauty!!! Straight out the jungle!! I used to have Charles E x Borneo but killed it, of course.

Yeah it is a great clone I agree. The whole plant is like 35 cm across. I will definitely self it next time around.

Valuable jungle genes!

Please save pollen for future use and distribution?
