The rare stuff!

[John Boy]

Okay, I'm guilty, I do have a few nice plants!

Behold, my Paphiopedilum violascens and one of the tigrinum (I've got a few, but hell do they ever flower at the same time!!)... (who wants me to make a hybrid?oke

 

[Lint]

Very nice flowers!

who wants me to make a hybrid?oke:

I'd rather you cross those two violascens, because there are not enough plants of this species available.

But tigrinum x violascens would probably be interesting, too!

 

[John Boy]

It's a deal!

WOW. Lovely Paphs you don't see often. I like the darker violascens in particular. Has that hybrid ever been made?

I doubt it much, and I doubt anyone was crazzy enough. I don't expect a second Kevin Porter, but I'll give it a go anyhow. What the hell, right?!

This is one thing I'm making this year,...having come too late last year...
This time I will make another Tiger Henry, cause they are rare as well, infact: I can't find any. So... let there be Tiger Henry's!!!

:drool::drool:YES to Tiger Henry! :clap::clap:
Sorry, I'd have to go EEEWE to a Viola Tiger. It will always be interesting when you have 2 practically opposites when it comes to form,shape and markings. I would have to guess there would be a higher percentage of dogs but it only takes a couple of good or not bad to get the interest going. Most people have trouble growing either species so it's hard to imagine that a cross of the 2 could be any easier. I'll let someone else put their time, effort & bench space into that one.

Hi,
I love your photo's,could I ask what camera you use and do you use any specific lighting set up? Thanks

 

[Kavanaru]

wow.. very nice plantas... I do agree with the proposed ideas:

violascens (the dark one) x violacens
violacens x tigrinum (for sure some werid looking dogs, but also some nice ones!)
tigrinum x henryanum (like you I am looking for this cross since very long ago, without success)

 

[John Boy]

End of day... I guess.

Let's finish some weird breeding with an even weirder picture, just looking over my shoulder I saw this:

I never said I was sane, did I?!oke:

Cool flowers!

 

[John Boy]

I wish you were in the US!!!

I do too, sometimes! If I win the lottery I'll buy that nursery on Big Island!:drool: It must be quite something to have all that climate for free...

The pouch picture makes me think of clothes abandoned on the bedroom floor.

Let us know when there are plants available from the polinations that you did
