What's this?

[Heather]

I found this on the Taiwanese forum. Despite translating the pages, there seem to be no clues as to what it is so I thought I'd post a link here and we can have another guessing game.

kolopakingii x appletonianum/bullenianum?

I agree with you on the appletonianum/bullenianum influence in the petal shape but I would think it would be more floriferous if kolopakingii was in the mix. I tried to find a photo of Lawless Rienzi (bullenianum x kolopakingii) but nothing is coming up on google.

I like the colour and stripes on that bloom, but I have no clue what it is

 

[likespaphs]

it's an orchid.
i believe it's called a Paphiopedilum....

 

[gonewild]

The colors look way off. The leaves and phal flowers look wrong. Maybe the flower is really more green?

 

[kentuckiense]

I do not think it really has that kolopakingii "chin." I would guess appletonianum x something in the praestans complex.

 

[Heather]

Yeah, I was thinking maybe wilhelminiae since it's not a very floriferous multi.

Thats an aardvark, dear.

oh wait, must be the alcohol...

You and Brian are real fountains of knowledge, you know that?

[NYEric]

Wow, I was thinking just the same thing!

 

[gonewild]

I think a millipede sucked out all the green color.

Wow, I was thinking just the same thing!
