Paph British Bulldog x Avenger

[Dorsetman]

I am quite pleased with this one; I have several of this cross, most have flowered before, maybe this one too, and they do vary a bit in quality of flower from one year to the next for obvious reasons, but this is the best looking flower of the cross that I recall.

Geoff, that truly is a grand and glorious orchid: worthy of you, I might add!

[Jose R. Nieves]

That dorsal is huge! Also love the color and the markings. Wish I could grow those here.

Oh, I like this one! You can tell it has very solid substance. Those are so tempting...I just have never done well with them, and i'd hate to kill something so lovely!

[pavel]

Nice round shape to that blossum!

[catttan]

Beautiful, Geoff.

[opaline]

Truly remarkable! The circular shape is amazing, a sight to be seen! All credit to your green fingers.

[cdayinflorida]

wow!

Fascinating, Geoff - I've been eyeing the bulldogs for a few weeks now and was intimidated that they might be much more difficult than Maudiaes and their other hybridized species (i.e. lawrenceanum x fairrieanum, etc). Do you cultivate them the same as a Maudiae? Or do they require much different care? I'd really like to widen my paph horizons a little.

[pavel]

Geoff will certainly know far better than I, Maura, but if I'm remembering correctly, I think they generally prefer cooler temps than the Maudiae types.
