Paph. Susan Booth

[Dee]

First registered by F. L. Booth 1983. This is one of my latest purchases from Ratcliffe Orchids. Cross is (Paph. rothschildianum 'Chas. E. FCC/AOS x praetans 'Knob Creek' HCC/AOS) and is a first bloomer.

Very pretty, Dee. Too bad there's no show now.

Great plant. Thanks for the photo Dee.

I don't have one of these. I did once - I guess it must be blooming somewhere now. I ordered a LOT of plants from Ratcliffe the first summer I was growing and at the time their free special was St. Swithins and I got three! The last one they really nicely traded for a Susan Booth, but it was big and not a favourite so I think I sold it or traded it to Ron Rayher. Come to think of it, I think he may have posted a photo recently on OSF.

Anyway, yours is lovely, thanks!

I have a major correction to make. This photo is not Paph. Susan Booth.

It is Paph. Edna Ratcliffe (Saint Swithin x praestans 'Knot Creek' HCC/AOS)

Unbeknownst to me I was give the wrong tag, but all is well now. Thank you Mary!
