Some new blooms!!!
Default Some new blooms!!!

The maudiae alba took nearly two years to rebloom, and now adding more growths finally, but the flower shape has changed for the worse.

The next one up is a tonsum crossed with dark coloratum. I kind of like this flower. It has this nice satiny texture. I wanted a "peacock" paph anyways, so I'm going to keep this one.

The third one is a green maudiae crossed with green complex. I wasn't expecting anything much as I always thought those two are wrong mix. I got it because the plant was small yet the bud was large. The flower is really big and better than some of its siblings I've seen.
well, I have to say I don't mind it.

Then a few more vinis that opened recently.
One of them won't open up fully.
The last of the these four, although rather crippled in shape and coloration, the wine tone is just amazing under the light at night. I want to keep it just for that and the dark glossy leaves.

Now the last, but not least, is the first complex paph to open for the season for me, and I love it!
The flower is rather small, but I like the clean color and the shape. I looked up and someone has already registered this one this year in the RHS, although I couldn't find any good example photos online.
It's Yerba Buena crossed with Stone Lovely (Green Genes).

More complex paph blooms coming soon next month. Yay!!!

Lovely paphs!

l have noid vini open just now but the bud was really deformed as it was growing. I was convinced it had blasted at one point but it did open and while the flower isn't a looker it's actually better than I expected from the bud.

Love the third one. It's unique!

Any suggestions for a yellow/gold bulldog Paph with a white "halo" NYCorchidman?

I got rid of two vini with "crooked" flowers. I let them bloom a few times, and every time it was bad, so out they went.

I think it has to do with the genetics.
They had issues with the leaves (ridged along the veins) too, which didn't bother me much, but I read that it is a sign of genetic incompatibility as a result of different plants being crossed together. oh, well... part of the fun I guess. hehe

Sometimes though, slight dimple on the pouch can disappear on the subsequent bloom, and I'm not sure that is also genetics or lack of water while the bud was developing.

How much of white do you prefer on the dorsal??
Some are just barely painted along the edge of the dorsal, while some have mostly white dorsal just like the last one in the picture above.

Yerba Buena (White Cap) is used a lot in breeding to give those large white dorsal with little bit of green in the center.
Gege Hughes is used for white "rim", but all these hybrids have quite a few sub groups (or cultivars?) with different characteristics, so it is not that clear actually.

I believe you can only guess the outcome as vast majority of the progeny of these complex come out crappy and very different anyways.
Many with Yerbe Buena has no halo while many also do have halo. So you never know, but guess (or expect or hope for certain qualities).

Many modern green hybrids use Stone Lovely, Pacific Shamrock, Sorcerer's Stone (which is a progeny of the forementioned two), and many come out with nice green with different amount of white on the dorsal.

So look for these names in the tag, but again, you never know. So it is best to save lots of money and buy divisions of well known plants or open flowers at a show.
I wish I had all the money! hahaha

Also, McLaren Park (famous classic green complex) and Hamana Gem on the tag could have great potential I think.

I like green complex and some of mine do trun yellowish in the early stage, but I do not have developed much taste in nice yellow/Golden complex.

If you want a nice golden with white halo, then I recommend Gege Hughes 'Moon Harvest' You'll have to get a division, which is not cheap, but it is the best yellow I've seen so far, and one I will buy if I ever want a nice yellow one.
