Paph St Swithin 'Murray'

[Ozpaph]

An immature division of an AOC awarded clone. http://www.orchidsaustralia.com/award_display.asp?award=4888
It is very green in colouration compared to most SS which are brown toned or cream.
The original owner told me the seedling took 20 years to flower and another 15 years to get awarded.(if I remember correctly) Once it matured it flowers regularly. 3 flowers this time for me.

Nowhere near the standard when you had it awarded!

Nice Stephen. I look forward to seeing you getting it up to the standard of the awarded photos. This is a hell of a clone.

Beautiful! and well deserved award....

Mine has the same color and form(like a mini PEOY). It was bred with var. laevigatum.... great grower as well. I really need to divide it, so division is available.......
