Paphiopedilum Doll's Kobold

[Axel]

This plant from Sam's has te be henryanum, but to me it is more like Doll's Kobold. First flowering.

Sure looks like it to me! One can see both parents in it!

I guess that Doll's Kobold is a charlesworthii hybrid... Please enlight me... If yes, then it resembles both parents, as Rose stated...!!!! Lovely!!!

According to the RHS, Doll's Kobold is a cross between charlesworthii and henryanum. FYI.

By the way, here is a link that you might like to bookmark:

If you know the two parents and want to see if the hybrid is registered, click on the link for "grex parentage search click here" on that page. You can also leave the Genus field blank and it will still perform a search. Quite useful in these days of changing hybrid names!

Best Regards,

Very obvious charlesworthii x henryanum, if you ask me!

And if you don't like it, I'll take it...

Nice Doll's Kobold Axel! Looks very similar to my Tyke but with spotting and stripes in the dorsal.
