Paphiopedilum Prince Edward of York may be the finest of multi-floral Paph hybrids, a primary cross of Paph. sanderianum x Paph. rothschildianum, registered in 1898 by Sanders. A perfect pairing which produces huge stately flowers.
This is a first-bloom seedling from a compot purchased from Bob Wellenstein a few years ago. Two are in bloom right now, this one with the darker flowers has petals 12 inches long, and the other has petals almost 14 inches long.
Prince Edward of York was four years old at the time this hybrid was named for him. He became King of England in January 1936 after his father died and then abdicated his throne in December in order to marry a divorced woman.
