Paph Prime Child - bought in bloom

[RosieC]

I went to an orchid show at the weekend and here is one of my new purchases.

Prime Child is a primary hybrid of rothschildianum x primulinum and I can see characteristics of both parents in there. I immediately recognised it as a roth hybird, but the angular pouch of that is softened by the primulinum.

I love this and I've kind of decided this is going to be my replacement for the Pinocchio I lost (which is also a primulinum hybrid).

I'm not sure if this is sequential or not, it seems to look like it might be as there is a possible 2nd bud starting to form, on top of the 2 flowers and bud that are clearly visible. I'm not sure if primulinum is the parent that gives Pinocchio that feature or not.



Unfortunately the top flower has a big blemish and I can't photograph the lower flower without the spike of the upper one. It still looks fantastic to my eyes though



The plant looks good and healthy and has some new growths
