Wow! Is that normal? Have you seen other photos of it? That's really wild, thanks for sharing!

it is a first bloom. i don't know if it will be something that has only happened on this bloom or if it going to be something that happens every time. i hope it does(happen every time).

Gee, are you sure you didn't spill something on it?

I'd just cut it off and enjoy the petals and dorsal!

The judges probably wouldn't like it...but I think it's quite neat. I've always liked variegated leaves and mutated flowers. Hopefully this effect was caused by its genes and will continue take make these marbled pouches
Now if I could just find a peloric Paph. rothschildianum for sale....

The peloric Paph. rothschildianum I saw was on Dr. Tanaka's website...I wish it were mine. And a peloric Prince Edward would be awsome IMHO.
