Paph Yi-Ying Golden Slipper

[parvi_17]

Can't take credit for this one. The photo on the vendor's website showed great promise, so I decided to pick this one up at a show a couple weeks back. Unfortunately it has not turned out as good as the one in the photo, though I still like it. I wish it would flatten out more, but it's been like this for a week now, so I'm losing faith... it is a young plant, however.

I like the ruffles!

Your clone is better than the one they had on display for judging (if I haven't confused crosses by now).

Really? I didn't see it. I am always too busy looking for Parvis .

Thank you! Yes I'd agree mine does look better than that one (with no disrespect to whoever the owner is).

perhaps a stupid question.. but is there a reason why complex hybrids often bloom with more cupped flowers? Is it because of genetics or the lack of humidity/light or a combination of things?

Joe, I think your plant fits the name "golden slipper" better than the plant Paramount put in the show. Nice bloom!

it will improve on future bloomings

Thanks for the comment! I believe that humidity, etc. can often be a factor with this type of thing but I think that in this case it's just because it is a first blooming.

If that could flatten out more (well a lot more) it does have great promise.

Maybe next year??? It's nice anyway, lovely colour and glossy texture.
