Which one?

[SlipperFan]

These are both Paph. Friedrich von Hayek x fairrieanum. If you could pick just one for yourself, which one would you choose?

Or

Both

 

[slippertalker]

I'll take door number 2...........

 

[Heather]

Gorgeous! The second one. I like the fuller petals and the dorsal looks less pinched.

If you put a gun to my head, number one. Gut reaction. I always tell people to go with their first instinct, so I should do it myself.

I don't know why. Perhaps it looks more like fairrieanum and I like fairrieanum. I like the petals better.

 

[Persephone]

I like #1.

 

[WolfDog1 (C. Williams)]

#2 for me too.
I also like the wide petals.
Both have nice color.

[Corbin]

I just think no. one has better lines

 

[Candace]

I'd go with #2 as well.

 

[myxodex]

#1 ditto Littlefrog

 

[Marco]

i like the first one

 

[goldenrose]

#2 color, size , proportion, bolder spotting.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

#2 for me....I prefer the dorsal of #1, but everything else on #2................Eric

 

[gore42]

I like the first one.

[Hien]

I like the 2nd one for the large petals width.
However, I will chose the first because the dorsal is less hovering over the pouch (the rain protection overhang is a feature I don't like)

 

[jblanford]

#2 For me. Jim.

 

[paphioboy]

can i have both, please? pretty please..?(",) ok ok... i choose no.2, but both are fabulous anyway..

 

[Roy]

#2 for me. Bold, reasonable form, the wide petals. From a hybridists point of view, a better flower to work with. As a grower, #1 is too close to fairrieanum.

 

[Grandma M]

# 2. I like the wide dorsal but I would be happy with either...or both.

 

[NYEric]

I think N0.2 looks more robust!
