Hello,

I don't know what the name of this slipper is. Maybe Roy can help or one of the other many experts on this forum.

Regards,

Bernhard

Bernhard, I can only tell you that it is a complex hybrid... I don't know which one though.. there are so many of them...

Bernhart, the flower and more particularly the plant shows a heavy influence of P.Paeony 'Regency'. I would suggest that it could be a direct Paeony 'Regency' cross or a P. Amanda crossing. The other parent would be another of the same color lines. Is it a seedling or division of a plant you have purchased????
If its a division, its probably a hybrid from a Ratcliffe cross from a few years back or similar breeding from here in Australia.

I have limited knowledge in this area but would suggest that it has some gratrixianum in its breeding.

hello Roy, I purchased the plant some time ago from an older gentleman who lives 150 kms south of Rocky. He has some magnificent appletonianum slippers and I bought 4 shoot divisions and saw this big beautiful solum which is a big yellow slipper and I bought a small divison too. He said he had a big orchid without a name which is a division of one of his divisions. He had it in his possession for many years and lost the name and couldn't help me. He has a 300 slipper collection without any faults and all our big beautiful plants. Regards Bernhard

In a complex hybrid like that guesses can only be made but if you don't know for sure the parents you can never be sure. So enjoy the flower but I wouldn't give it a cross name.

It looks to me like one of the older complex crosses....Can't hazard a name though.....Eric

I had a look in Dank-o-Pedilum, it could be anyone of 25 hybrids, and you might still be wrong.
