Stanhopea 'Ulli Paterny' (NOT)
Finally after 9 years this bloomed without the slugs getting the blooms. This was sold as Stan. 'Ulli Paterny', but it is not. The parentage of this plant is ( Stan. bucephalus 'Ruth Marie Christianen' AM/AOS X Stan. martiana 'Oaxac' CBR/AOS ). The problem is that this bucephalus is actually Stan. embreei. Bucephalus is an old name that was used for both Stan. jenischiana and oculata. I can find no record of it being used for Stan.embreei. The AOS has awarded other stanhopeas under the wrong name also.
What ever the name should be it's nice looking flower.
There is a picture of Stan."Ruth Marie Christianen" on Doug Pulleys web site
