Paphiopedilum Duke of Earl - kolopakingii X adductum

[ORG]

A wonderful hybrid is Paphiopedilum Duke of Earl, the cross between kolopakingii and adductum.
Really an interesting hybrid, but it would be interesting to see the similar cross with Paph. anitum. It will have not so many but darker flowers.

Best greetings

That is fantastic alright!! Thanks Olaf. Has the flower spike been staked or is that it's natural stance?

Never heard of this species. Is it a synonym of something else?

Anitum is a darker coloured variety (or separate species) of adductum...

Fabulous hybrid! I love that the kolopakingii flower count remained high!

I don't think I've seen one with 5 flowers, that is terrific!
