Paphiopedilum lowii ‘Carlisle’ HCC/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

I’m happy to report that Carlisle got a 78 point HCC from AOS judging today. It was a tough run as there are a ton of FCC’s out there to compete with. Here she’s is, beaming with pride! And thanks to JMarcotte for this division. Might be the only one left. NS 15.5 cm.

Congrats, Leslie. Very well deserved, I can only agree with David: it's a stunning clone!

what are your expectations for it as the division gains some size and overall strength?

I think it’s at its max as it flowered as good as JMarcotte expected.

Perhaps more flowers might raise it to an AM of 80-82?

Congrats Leslie to the award and to posses and grow such a great Paph. lowii. The stance and shape of these flowers are excellent....and the stake at the base of the flower spike is almost invisible. Lol

I hope they corrected the colour for the award photo.

The pics I have here are not the award photos. I’m also curious how it turns out.

He’s still growing orchids but not as involved. He does come on here once in a while.

Thanks for the update...I heard he wasn't feeling well a few years ago.... I am wishing him well.
