Paphiopedilum rothschildianum, 2 very differents clones

[Fabrice]

-Jurassik Parc x self from Popow (Germany) (2nd Bloom)

-Queen x Tiger from Iweyshen (2nd bloom), deflasked in 2007.

And together:

 

[Ozpaph]

both very nice. Personally I like the down-swept petals more.

Beautiful! Wow, almost 10 years to first blooming.. Are these flowering on single growths?

 

[SlipperMatt]

Both of them are gorgeous, while the german breeding line looks more similar to a native form. However the other one has beauty stripes on its petals. I think if you try to cross this two, the result would stunning as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice...#2 for me

 

[Fabrice]

Yes, Jurassik Parc is a wild collected clone.

About Queen x Tiger, the 1st bloom was in 2013, so 6 years after deflasking. The faster from this cross bloomed after 5 years, in 2012.

Nice dorsal presentation on the second one. Thanks Fabrice for the look.

Both are lovely but I prefer the second one. Those flowers are 'in-your-face'. :clap:

Very nice indeed, but I must admit complete confusion as to the appeal of an orchid that takes a decade to bloom!?!? Are Roth's just the next fad?

 

[Fabrice]

Not 10years, 7 years for the 1st bloom of this plant and 6years for the fastest of the seedling.

The new crosses, well grown, will take at least 5 years, maybe 4 for the fastest plants.

I very much like that second one with bold stance!
Not a Roth person. I wish these plants were smaller.

Both are beautiful and nicely grown. I like the first one better by a wide margin.

Lol not a fad...just a flower for those with impeccable taste. they are talked about often these days as the latest generation showing great advances in flower quality is blooming recently.

 

[Fabrice]

One thing is sure, those 2 roths are not from the last generation but it's clearly not a problem to my eyes.

 

[gego]

Very impressive, those two. But #2 is elegant.

Jurassic Park for me...I love that classic look.

Wish my Charles E x Borneo would bloom one of these years

 

[SlipperFan]

Gorgeous.

 

[emydura]

Both nice. I probably favour the first one although I prefer the dorsal in the second.

 

[Migrant13]

Great growing and superb flowers. I like the first one as the flower presentation is near perfect. Thanks for sharing these.
