Yellow Tiger x Wellesleyanum

[orchid527]

Purchased as a flask about 7 years ago. Three flowers, but the first one is a little distorted. Petals are about 8 cm long and the dorsal width is about 4.5 cm. Plant is growing in a 5 inch pot and has 5 leaves with a span of about 12 inches.

I am undecided about keeping it. It is a little washed out, but the leaves are attractive, the plant is compact and it does bloom. I have several others in spike right now and I'm hoping for just a little more color.

I like it though. The yellow tiger will make the color lighter but you may get one that is darker. Markings are clear and not so bland.

Yellow tiger = stonei x praestans and welleslyanum, godefroyae x concolor, another has got to be darker, it looks nice anyways at least it's symmetrical and blooms!! It looks alot like paph mark hasegawa

what a strange cross, but an OK result

Very nice. I like the fact that the lines are very crisp with no bleeding and the somewhat pastel pouch gives a nice contrast.

Well, I like it. I've always liked "dog eared" petals like that. I think the colors are nice too - pastels mixed with clear venation - what more could you want?

A 'correct' Yellow Tiger is platyphyllum x praestans which gives paler flowers. Lots sold as Yellow Tiger (mine included) are actually Stone Praetorian (stonei x praestans). Koopowitz even mentions this in his Tropical Slippers book.
Unless others bloom with redder pouches and this is a one off light one, I'd guess this is the true colour from a platy YTiger cross.

I agree with your opinion as well.
