Un-named Complex Hybrid

[tomkalina]

(Orchilla x Mem. Fumi Saeki) - Not sure if I posted this before, but it's the only first generation hybrid made with Mem. Fumi Saeki as a parent. Paph. Mem. Fumi Saeki is an old hybrid made with (Amanda x Vintner's Treasure).

Nice color on that one and the shape isn't anything to sneeze at either.

That is a great looking red!

I have seen Vinter's Treasures used to good effect in complex breeding elsewhere:
Grecian Wine: http://www.orchidphotography.com/paphiopedilum-pix.php
Gene Hauserman: https://www.flickr.com/photos/95227122@N08/12328489264/

The Grecian Wine seemed to go nowhere (it was made in 1989) and the Gene Hauserman as well (made in 1995). It is nice to see these crosses can o somewhere... But I am surprised that the breeder was Orchilla. I have been told that it is a reluctant breeder. I would like to experiment with this line of breeding, as the red is very rich and the plants seem to present well, but am finding it hard to find a nice rich, red vini. Well, its more like I am spoilt for choice on Ebay and now can't make up my mind...
