The following images will be of Paphiopedilum Oregon Pinot. It is Paph. California Girl x Paph. John Hainsworth. I have recently purchased some rather nice plants from one of our member/vendors over at Austin Creek Orchids.

Is this a great flower? Perhaps not. Awardable? Not now. But it has potential. This just started to open late yesterday. I like the overall color, the staminode and center of pouch are a nice, rich, honey gold color. I might want to see the picotee on the dorsal be whiter but hey, that might happen.
With a few years of good growth behind it, I think that it will only improve.
Both John Hainsworth and California Girl have good track records as parents.
