Paph. Translie

[atlantis]

After too many time with nothing interesting to show you...here I go this time with an (IMO) interesting plant for those who like Cochlos.

This is a nice plant I purchased last May. It has one old flowered growth, the flowering one and two new leads that are growing quite fast.

I didn´t knew the cross when I bought it, but I thought it could be a nice "Cochlo-like" plant, so I decided to give it a try and I don´t regret it . I really like it.

Hope you like it too.

Very nice. Love the color on that.

Anyone who likes Cochlos has got to love that. Let us know about how it does with sequential flowering after a few weeks or months.

You've got to love that even if you're not Cochlo fan.

Very nice Alberto. Congrats!

I think it is quite likeable -- especially the lines on the dorsal sepal.

I adore that very PINK pouch...and the slightly twisty petals. I'd love to
have it in my greenhouse.

Great choice! Nice combination of colours with an intriguing hint of roths.
I am pleased to see how it has turned out (I have this in flask, but still no germination yet, but now I am excited)

That's pretty nice, congrats!

Thats very nice. How big is the flower?

Thank you all for the kind answers.

I´ll do it. I´m specially interested in flower count. As the cross has 75% Cochlo...I hope it has higher flower count than a 50/50 cochlo/multi.
Second bud seems to be ok, and I think we´ll have a third one.

Nice combination of colours with an intriguing hint of roths.

Totally agreed. Aside from the colour, I think my favourite features on this flower (sharp dorsal and longer and less twisted petals) comes from rothschildianum.

Thats very nice. How big is the flower?

NS: 12 cm
Stem is about 20 cm
Biggest leaves are 20 cm length x 5,5 cm width (something fantastic for a plant that bears roth and liemianum in it. They must have used a short leaved P. victoria-regina in the Transvaal...)

Thumbs up!

 

[Ozpaph]

That's a pretty big flower, then.

You've got to love that even if you're not Cochlo fan.
