Paph. tonsum x Magic Wand

[SlipperFan]

Tom Kalina brought this for me to the Michigan Orchid Society show last weekend. Thanks for remembering, Tom!

The coloring is so subtle, it was very hard to capture. I don't think I quite did it.

In what way Dot? Your photos always make me feel like I could reach out and touch them.

Thanks Tom.

It looks better on my desktop (where I edited it) than on my laptop -- different monitor technology, though both are calibrated. But my camera could not capture the subtle transitions in color between the greens and reds. I did the best I could with Photoshop, but it's not like it is in reality.

I really like it. I think tonsum probably tops all paphs in the Barbata for subtle nuances of colour (probably all paphs for that matter). It has always been one of my favourites. Thanks for posting.

One of the under used Paphs, tonsum. Nice cross Dot and PIC as well.

I like it a lot. Nice colours all over, pleasant shape and I especially like how tonsum influences this flower without dominating it. Sometimes I wish sukhakulii could do that too, but that species just is an alpha-Paph.
