Paph. rothschildianum 'Deane'

[Pete]

Sorry for the kind of grainy, poor quality photo. it was taken with my phone!
anyways this is a sib cross currently in bloom. I will show it for judging on Friday. the cross is ('Atlantis' SM/TPS x 'Jungle Selected')
It is a very quick growing plant, four flowers on the first bloom is ok. the color and petal stance are really nice.. enjoy!

YIKES!!!!! Pete, if that's what you get on a first blooming (4, super high quality flowers), I can't wait for you to post future bloomings! This plant has excellent form and the pouch colour goes right up to the top of the pouch rim. Often, roths have a serious fading of the colour at the top edge of the pouch rim, which is a fault, of course. I LOVE the shape of the sepals. That dorsal is to die for. Hmmmm, maybe it's your growing conditions. I've always known that I belong in Hawaii! Congratulations on producing such spectacular flowers!

Awesome flowers! Not bad for a first bloom, I wish mine would look like that!

I remember having seen a pic of the Atlantis parent in one of the "Paphiopedilum in Taiwan" books, not sure which one and don't know if it's parents were mentioned.

best wishes,
