Wossner Winstonknock x Pulsar

[jimspaphs]

Won this as a seedling at a TAPS meeting---cant believe it has Winston Churchill in it.

 

[SlipperFan]

I agree. Excellent flower, though.

 

[Ozpaph]

So much like mine - no WC influence visible. http://www.slippertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38617

Lovely

 

[paphioboy]

Wow

 

[labskaus]

I second that 'wow'.

Excellent vinicolor!

 

[SlipperKing]

It must be huge

Normally these don't have much appeal for me but this one is outstanding. :clap:

 

[Happypaphy7]

Wow~ I want to have this!!!

By the way, with only 25% Winston Churchill, it is not a surprise that this looks nothing like it.
I once had a hybrid that was half bulldog, half Maudiae type.
The flower barely had any bulldog influence.

I just knocked-off another maudiae hybrid so I'm impressed you can grow the plant so well, never mind the exquisite flower.

Incidentally, this is Winwine: http://www.marriottorchids.com/Gallery photos/Winwine DarkSpell FCC.jpg and already it looks far removed from WC. The maudiae hybrid is very dominant.

Very impressive flower! You're so lucky to win such a plant!

 

[emydura]

A very nice win.

 

[17andgrowing]

It's beautiful.

 

[Migrant13]

Thumbs up!

 

[Markhamite]

Lovely dark colouring and nice shape.

This is a truly lovely result. Still surprising that WC has near no visible influence at all. The first time I saw one I found it difficult to accept, but as we get to see more of them we realize how influence is translated into improved shape and texture. A fantastic bloom, congratulations.
