Paphiopedilum Delrosi (Paph. rothschildianum x Paph. delenatii f. vinicolor)

[atlantis]

that´s incredible!

I really like the base of the petals!!

 

[Erythrone]

OMG!! :clap: Not the best shape, or pattern but the color is amazing. Where did you get it??

I bought it from Zephyrus (Ont., Canada). I don't think he was the breeder.

 

[myxodex]

OMG ! ... that's just outrageous !
... better check your home security :ninja:

Thanks, maybe there will be one for sale in Montreal.

 

[The Orchid Boy]

Looks wonderful!

For Zephyrus: It was one year ago and he had only a few plants I think.

But Piping Rock may have some for sale:

Paphiopedilum Delrosi
#1143(rothschildianum '#10' x delenatii v. vinicolor 'Dunkle #1')
This a remake using the dark form of delenatii. Unlike older forms of the hybrid, these should prove to be a lot easier to bloom, with the influence of the newer roths. BS. $44,95

I think your 'Florafest' have a much better shape. But I recogn mine is only a "bably" and that the shape could improve.

I think the shape on yours is fine. You can get a lot of Delrosi's with poor form but this is certainly not one of them. The petals are wavy but then that seems pretty typical for this hybrid. I have two awarded clones and the petals are much like yours.

 

[Erythrone]

Thanks a lot emydura.

Reading the posts on this forum for now more than 2 years, I don't see orchds as I did before. I now want to grow THE BEST bloom, with THE BEST shape and the BEST color. But I think perfection is almost elusive.

This has to be one of the most important hybrid plants flowered recently.
It should mean that there will be many more seedlings raised and sold of hybrids with dunkel.
Personally I'd like to see a magic lantern 'dark'.

Amazing.

 

[labskaus]

That's a fascinating, amazing flower, wouldn't have expected such an outcome. Well, now let's see if this plant is an exception or the standard for the cross. I remembered this thread by Robert:

I remembered the same post Carsten, that's why I'm a little more then shocked by the outcome of this Delrosi. Quite a lovely thing.

Very strong vinicolor influence. Nice!

 

[Drorchid]

Very nice! I actually am not too surprised by the outcome. Paph rothschildianum tends to intensify any pigmentation (think of crosses between Maudiae vini-colors and rothschildianum that turn out almost "black" in color), so I think in this case it also intensified the dark pigmentation of the delenatii var vinicolor.

Thanks for the tip. Piping Rock will be at the Paph Forum this Saturday. I'll see if he brings any for sale.

Do you want one?

 

[monocotman]

Do you want one?

Thanks for the offer but no. Multis don't do well for me indoors,
