Paph Pinocchio - Orchid Board

I have two Pinocchio's open at the same time. I find it interesting to see the difference. While I'm no expert, I believe the lighter colored flower has greater expression from the Paph primulinum parent in this primary hybrid while the darker flower must have greater expression from the Paph glaucophyllum parent.

Both are lovely! I really like the darker one.

Cool, great to see the differences. I agree with Ted that I like the darker one best.

They're both very nice. The second one almost looks like there must be some alba parent in it's make up. I think I'm more partial to the second one.

If you look at the parents, the 2nd one appears more like the primulinum parent (Paph. primulinum) while the 1st has more of the glaucophyllum contribution (glaucophyllum (3))

Neat. Mine is closer to the light one, but I have to admit, I like the dark one better.
