These are the first bloom for both of these orchids. And my very first blooming for complex hybrids! Very exciting for me!!The dorsals could be flatter, but I love them!!
The first 2- Paph Beaute 'Linda' x (Venture 'Sunglow'x Winston Churchill 'Indomitable')'Roseville'
The last 2- Paph Feurewerk x charlesworthii
Happy New Year everyone!!

Winston- Newbie Alert! Your question made me aware I don't know the correct way to measure my beauties! But I gave it a try. Without pulling on the leaf to straighten, Beaute Linda has an 18" leafspan, leaf tip to opposing leaf tip, and is in a 4" pot. It is a single growth so I cut the bloom off after 12 days so the plant can be stronger. The Feurewerk x charlesworthii has 3 growths,in a 3" pot and has a leaf span of 15".

They are both beauties for sure and with parentage like that they have to be nice. The Winston Churchill is a real "bulldog" Wish I had several trays of them.
