This cross combines the stately form and long flower segments of Paphiopedilum rothschildianum with the slimmer, contrasting influence of Paphiopedilum adductum. The result is a plant with a powerful appearance, long flowering stems and a striking line pattern in the flower.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat makes this particular clone interesting is that we often see in similar lines that the flowers turn out darker and more contrasting than expected, especially when the plant receives adequate light.
