Hello,
in the midst of various "Maudiae but not really Maudiae" hybrids in a local garden center, I saw four different looking plants that seemed to be from the same crossing.
I couldn't resist and bought a pot with two plants in it. So what could this be? I'm assuming it's callosum x something. Maybe even a primary hybrid? The four plants all had very similar flowers. If it was a complex cross, there would have been more variability in the flowers, right?
I am new to Paph-growing and orchid genetics, so be gentle. ;-)
Some pictures (click to enlarge):
Plant 1
Plant 2

The other two plants looked pretty much the same, only with slightly more spots on the petals.
I forgot to take a picture of the leaves, but they look like standard bright green Maudiae leaves, only with less contrast between the lighter and darker areas.
