Hung Sheng Eagle × anitum produced a disaster of a flower, wiped out pretty much any trace of gigantifolium influence and just looks like a poor Wössner Black Wings.

Not quite fully open yet but I'm loving this roths 'Gold Dynasty' × 'Giant Wings'. Also opening is a Wössner Black Wings from roths 'Leo'× anitum 'Ace'. Sam's WBW have a different look to them compared to the ones I have out of Taiwanese breeding.

Forgot that I also have a SeeHer Atian Royal (Bel Royal × roths) opening. The more I see of roths primary backcrosses the less interested I am in blooming more of them lol

Agree with you. Roths shines by himself
 
I’m not a fan of kolopakingii and it’s hybrids in general, I feel kolo lessens the form and washes out the color, but in general I would agree with you about the backcrosses. A few exceptions would be Lady Rothschild, Rollie Wilson, and Hilo Black Eagle. With regards to Lady Roths, stonei is so dominant in its hybrids, even 2 shots of roth can’t always overcome it. The best have the color of Lady Isobel with the form of a pure roth, and they can be absolutely spectacular. James Fang of HOF has been blooming out an amazing grex of Rollie Wilson, and I think at least one sibling plant has won an FCC, just massive flowers with incredibly wide petals. I think the plant was posted here, so probably worth searching around.

Agree this roth looks promising, loving the petal stance so far. Please post again when it’s fully open!

My only complaint is the size of the sepals, but the petal stance and coloring is fantastic. This plant was shipped last month and repotted, then spiked within a couple of weeks of that so I'm sure it's not blooming as well as it could have. I'll definitely keep it to see what it can do on a more mature plant.

I am growing out some Lady Roths, and I have a Haur Jih Anita/Hilo Black Eagle in sheath now. I'll give them their chance of course but they'll have to be pretty spectacular to earn their bench space after blooming, if they look too rothy I'd rather just grow roths.
