Paphiopedilum Prince Edward of York



This orchid was exhibited at the 2016 Puerto Rico Orchid Society show.  It is a large plant with elegant flowers.  I have always admired it.  I brought one seedling of this cross, but somehow it lost its tag.  Now it is with the others lost tag Paphiopedilum in my collection.  Hopefully it will bloom someday.

Paphiopedilum Susan Booth x Paph. Prince Edward of York, an elegant hybrid




I saw this tropical ladyslipper in the 2016 Puerto Rico orchid society show.  This hybrid plant is large when adult and the flowers are big and elegant.  The petals are long and held in a nice stance to the sides of the plants.  Few people cultivate this type of multiflora Paphiopedilum in Puerto Rico even though the plants are very easy to grow in our climate.  However the plants can be expensive and slow to reach blooming size.
