Two for the price of one!

Here is what I bought on a flower market last Sunday. I think that the Paph. of left is an hybrid of paph. sukhakulii and that of right a hybrid of liemianum x sukhakuli.I looked on Google Pictures to find a photo of this last one, I found nothing, does it exist? What do you propose me as identifications? Thank you in advance for your help.

The liemianum x sukhakulii is very nice...I especially like the pouch.

The RHS doesn't list a grex name for this hybrid on their website, so it could be that it hasn't been named yet.

Wow, what a score, the one on the right is great!

 

[paphioboy]

Both are gorgeous... if only I could find an offer like that... *drool...*

:clap:And they had the good fortune to bloom at the same time.

 

[Park Bear]

wonderful

I like them both. It will be interesting to know if the liemianum cross is sequential.

 

[swamprad]

Wonderful. Why don't I ever see things like this at Costco?

 

[NYEric]

NO idea but it was a good deal.

Yes, if you look at the bottom of the photo you can see two flower buds in preparation.

I thank you all for your compliments. Could you please give me your opinion about my suspicions concerning their identities.

These must be going around at the moment, I bought one (er, two) a couple of weeks ago at the local garden centre...

I really like the one that you think is liemianum x sukhakuli - really nice colour!

These are the two that came in mine:

Yup, seems to be a fairly common occurrence in Europe. I bought these last summer from the local garden centre. Also two in one pot. Typically the were facing in opposite directions so I had to rotate the pot every couple of days

Paph Luna moth x Pinochio is a cross that has also been done...

 

[SlipperKing]

I thank you all for your compliments. Could you please give me your opinion about my suspicions concerning their identities.

The second flower looks like it has hookerae or volonteanaum X a cochlo. I don't think there is any sukhakulii at all

In answer to what you should identify these as, there is only one ethical answer - "Paphiopedilum hybrid unknown" - no matter how sure you may think you are at guessing their identity.
