According to Wildcatt, there is no cross registered as David Napier. There is an Lc. David (1952), which is C. mossiae x Lc. New Britain. There are a bunch of David somethings (David Sanders, etc - dozens of these).
Perhaps your cross is Lc. David "Napier"? I can see some mossiae in your flower... Just a guess though.

Thanks, anything is possible, I bought a large collection which belonged to a Doctor who passed away, so the only recods I have are what are on the tags, and there are not many of them.
Very nice color there Gideon!
Thanks TADD, I do like the catts, nice vivid colours, would love to see some of those colours in the paphs :)

That makes sense... Didn't think to put Memoria in front for my search.
