Hello Everyone,
New to the forums and wanted to show off my latest award. It is the first plant shown of a cross I made. This is Paph. (Hsinying Web x concolor) 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS, 90 points. The cross will be registered as Paph. Ron Sims. It is a really neat feeling to not only get an FCC, but to get it on a plant that I made just makes it even better. I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone.

Wow congrats thats a really nice dark paph! welcome to the forum!

very very nice:heart::Party::welcomesof:

Beautiful! Welcome to the site! :welcome:

Congratulations!

That is a great achievement, congratulations!

Thanks for sharing!

Oh and welcome to a great forum!

Wow...awesome...super cool :woohoo: :congrat::welcomesof:

very good flower

Congratulations, it's beautiful and well deserved!

clearly well deserved. congrats!

Congratulations! You did great!

This has quite amazing color for a concolor hybrid! Congratulations for hybridizing such a fine flower.

Congratulations and welcome to the Slipper Orchid Forum! Hard to imagine it's 50% concolor. Excellent job!

Can you post a pic of the whole plant?I like to see what the leaves look like thanks!

Oh my gosh FCC! A big congratulations to you! That is a beauty.

Hello Everyone..
Thank you for the compliments on my flower. I am attaching a photo of a sibling from the cross to show that not all of the offspring overpowered the concolor. This one bloomed out with more of a cream/yellow background with a pink overlay and spots. I will try to get a photo of a group of these showing foliage, as that varies quite a bit as well..

That is a huge difference between the two and yet they are both the same hybrid? Amazing!

Thanks for sharing!

so pretty:heart::heart::heart:

How interesting!

Wow they look totally different! very interesting for sure.

Congratulations! I am not an expert at judging flowers but from the photo you posted it looks spectacular. I think your work was well earned and it shows! If this is your first product of your efforts, I can't wait to see what you may have to offer next time around.
And.... Welcome to the forum.
Regards,
Papaholic

The second one is also beautiful!

That can happen and happens all the time. Both flowers are beautiful!

Wow...thats way too cool...one dark and one light:cool:

Nice cross Ryan!:thumbsup:

Ramon:D

Nice set of plants! I like the light colored one!!

very nice.:cool:

Congratulations. Astonishing flower. Fully deserves an FCC award.

David

FABULOUS! I love both of them. What is the approximate spread of the FCC clone? Congratulations to you...:woohoo:

Hello Everyone,
Sorry it took me so long to get the foliage photos up. I took the photo of 3 siblings from the cross to show the variation in foliage color and pattern. The one at the back is Paph. Ron Sims 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS, the one on the left is Paph. Ron Sims 'Ursa' (the pink one that I attached a photo of earlier in the thread) and the one on the right is an unbloomed seedling. Take care and bye for now.
Ryan

Larry,
The flower had a natural spread of 9.7cm. The dorsal was 3.8cm wide and the petals were 5.2cm long. There was 1 flower and 2 buds on 1 inflorescense. I just put the pollen on another FCC of mine, Paph. Joyce Clark 'Ursa Major' FCC/AOS. Because both of them are 1/2 Maudiae types, and vini-colors at that, the hope is that we will have large, flat and very dark flowers with excellent substance and warm growing as well.

so pretty:heart::Party::heart:

those are some extremely nice plants.

This is a photo of my the other FCC I crossed this newest one with. Let's hope for some excellent plants..

Wow nice plant and bloom!!

Lovely plant...:cool:

Those plants are so healthy and beautiful!

Looks like it can be some lovely black plants out of that cross.
Hope it goes well
All the best
Joakim

That cross will be very nice!

Beautiful and well grown plants!

Congratulations to you on both accomplishments, it is a beautiful looking plant:cool:
