Paph Wossner's Armeni-Jack

[Leo Schordje]

to follow a discussion in another thread about jackii. Here you can see the jackii influence, different than malipoense.

Form is not as round, bee marking on staminode shield is reduced to lines, the flower has a really nice big natural spread of 13.2 cm, but the form is less than flat, too many waves and twists. This clone is vigorous, making at least 2 new growths a year and maturing & blooming growths in 2 years. In six years it has gone from 1 growth to 2 pots with 4 growths in one and 7 growths in the other. Blooms mid-winter, pretty much every year, usually in February. I like it, a new 'old reliable' for me.

Color is difficult to capture, definitely more green than yellow, but most photos capture too much green, but then the one photo is way too yellow. It is a nice yellowish green. Also please ignore the slug damage on the flower, I need to get after those loathsome beasts.

Nice, Leo. Which photo shows the most accurate color? Based on your description, I'd guess # 3.

Interesting. Wonder what roth pollen on it would do?

 

[Leo Schordje]

yep, number 3 is the closest color wise. It is more green than yellow.
