Here's a picture from the 'Photo Archives' of the first three bloomed seedlings that I have from this cross. The cross did a nice job of miniaturizing the complex Paph, but the color combination leaves something to be desired. Has anyone else bloomed any of these? The cross originally came from White River Orchids and was sold as (charlesworthii x [Liz Greenlees x Lou Merce Audino])

I like the gold color, but is amazing that each flower's shape is so different. I think I like the flower's in order from left to right, left being my first choice.

The dominating color is more like 'army green'. The one on the left is extremely vigorous, this being it's third bloom, with two new NBS growths ready for the fall. The other two are first blooms. No others have bloomed as of yet. Personally, I like the one on the far right the best, with the one on the left my second favorite flower.

Tadd, if you want, I'll send you the picture. Sorry, I can't download the plant.

LOL! You know, you can all make avs of your own plants, or trade, or ask Peter to add to the gallery if you wish (not that he'll do it, but hey...you can try! :poke:.) TADD, there *are* other categories...LOL!! but I like your blue beast, actually! I think you were just begging for the plant though....hehehe!

I think Avery's armeniacum would be a nice addition, and that vietnamense w/ the chin up "godfather" thing going on! :lol:
Oh heck, they're all nice!
