Paphiopedilum Sacagawea's Slippers

[Djthomp28]

I deflasked these is 2016. At the time I had limited experience with flasks. I had worked with a few phragmipedium flasks and assumed paphs would be no different. I went about "detangling" the roots and made a mess of things. Lesson learned... eek! Thankfully I did not completely ruin the flask. This is the first seedling to bloom. Assuming the staminode straightens out in future bloomings, this has potential.

There are not many images if this cross online, so I decided to post my less than perfect example. @tomkalina These came from Fox Valley Breeding. Do you have any pictures you could share?

Kind of cool, actually, it might bloom better next time.

Hi Darlene - No photos here yet; your seedling appears to be the first to bloom. Were you able to get to Madison Heights for the MOS show?

Unfortunately not. We had some concerns about the drive with the baby in the snow.

Wonderful flower, perhaps the next time the satminode will be perfect too.

Ok this one got me. Wow.

Thanks all! It's definitely not like anything else in my collection. The iridescence on the petals is striking in person.

would love to buy one if you have any extras

PM me. I am sure I do.
