Paphiopedilum Fanaticum x fairrieanum

[Rick Barry]

Here's an unregistered hybrid of Fanaticum x fairrieanum from the Orchid Zone. I almost always find fairrieanum hybrids appealing.

Is it the first blooming? Very nice!

What a beauty. Maybe she should be a'Farrifantacy'

Kind of a weird pouch -- definitely a "slipper", but I love the colors and pattern.

 

[toddybear]

Yes, the pattern and colour is lovely...hopefully the pouch will be better on the next bloom.

Big fat chin!

The second flower's pouch seems okay.

Did you find this plant to be an easy bloomer? Let's hope it will be reliable next year!

None easier...I bought it in bloom.

The second bloom has a more conventional pouch, as previously noted, but it is also smaller. I would normally expect a single flower. As to it blooming reliably, that is anyone's guess. I'll try not to put too much pressure on it (or me)! It seems like parvi's like to set their own schedule.
