Paphiopedilum Black Diamond 'Pinker Belle'

[Leslie]

This is my (yet another lucky) latest acquisition from this past weekend at the Toronto Artistic Chinese Show. I thought it was so beautiful with pink blushing on an Oriental looking flower. It's the albinistic cross of (delenatii album x fairerianum album). I got this from the Kennedy's of Our Tropics orchid nursery (thanks Doug and Theresa!).






This primary hybrid shows the best of both parents; the round pouch, size and pink color of the delenatii, and the broad dorsal sepal and upswept petals of the faireanum ... The mottled leaves are a plus too!

I named this cultivar 'Pinker Belle' to reference the coloration and a play of words similar to the timeless Tinker Bell.
