What is your favourite multifloral Paph?

[troy]

There are so many!!!! Lol..

 

[paphioboy]

If it doesn't have to be a species, either PEOY or MK..

Species or hybrids, it doesn't matter.
I find MK's very tempting!!...maybe one day.

Mks are easy to grow so are pey they would be an excellent first choice!!! Get a blooming size plant, keep it for a year pay attention then get flasks of the 2 you will be happy

 

[Fabrice]

Mks are easy to grow

Not agree with that. There are probably easy to grow seedlings but I have 3 plants from 3 differents seedlings and they grow slower than all my roths. And even slower than some of my sanderianums!

MK can be easy but not always.

There is a stonei album? If there is it is garbage because the absence of color lol...

Just wanted to show; one man's garbage...

I think MK requires more light than roth or sandie due to the phili influence. I grow two MKs, 1 indoors, 1 outdoors, but both receive as bright light as possible.

I just finished up a presentation on things new and interesting...have you seen:

Hung Sheng Eagle (roth x gigantifolium)
Hung Sheng Cape (stonei x anitum) another one
Mt. Toro album ((stonei album x philippinense album) x sib)
St. Swithin album ((philippinense album x roth) x sib)
Randy Booth (Lady Isabel x randsii)
intaniae (a good one...)
Nathaniel's Wink (Lady Isabel x hangianum)

Pretty cool stuff on the internet...

 

[NYEric]

Love those albums.

 

[troy]

Eric the best advice I can give about that stonei album post you pulled from archives is give it to me!!!! That is pretty awesome, that is the exception

 

[Bjorn]

The St. Swithin album indicates the existence of a roth album.......or am I wrong?

Not really, Bjorn. You missed "x sib" part (full-sibling cross: brother-sister cross). oke: So that one is F2 (second generation hybrid). Under the assumption that album is caused by a recessive allele in a single gene, 1/4 of them will become album in theory. But having 2 copies of a broken gene (album is basically genetic disease) could have some minor issues, so the proportion of album in F2 could be smaller than expected 1/4.

 

[Bjorn]

Yeah, missed the xsib, thats right, But can you call a St. Swithin xsib for St. Swithin? Thought that name was only for the F1?

 

[monocotman]

sibbing

Bjorn,

all generations of St Swithin x St Swithin will keep the same name.
For example there are plants around from the F3 of Hellas x Hellas and they are still Hellas.
Of course now the interesting thing would be to back cross this album St Swithin to a normal roth to produce Gary Romagna, then sib two of the progeny to find some album GR's.
Now these would be 75% roth and some would be very 'roth like' indeed.
We get much closer to an album roth type flower!
If we repeated the procedure of crossing a GR onto a normal roth then sibbing the progeny these would be 87.5% roth and some would be almost certainly indistinguishable from a pure bred roth.
However this process would be 4 generations of breeding so many of us would have shuffled off this mortal coil before a album roth look alike was produced,
David

 

[Bjorn]

Are you certain David? To me this sounds a bit ridicolous since the F2 of such a cross would vary way more than the F1. But ok, if that is the common practise...It probably explains why there are so many roth Mount Millais around. Back-crossing to get an alba roth-alike is a tempting idea, but in my mind its even worse than crossing malipoense with jackii to get a better malipoense.

 

[cnycharles]

Well if you did a mount Millais self x you wouldn't have mm, you would have a bunch that were mm x self which each need their own new clonal name. Someone can't call them mm unless it's a clonal division. So there may be lots of plants that have been selfed and lazy or unrealizing people are just writing mm incorrectly on the tag

You are correct.
