Paph Winston Churchill 'Indomitable' FCC/AOS x gratrixianum


Ah, fall has arrived (basically), and so begins the Paph season, starting with complex hybrids. This is only one of 2 that I own, and is a recent acquisition. The FCC/AOS in the name means that the first parent, Winston Churchill 'Indomitable' won the First Class Certificate from the American Orchid Society - the most prestigous award available from the largest orchid society in the world. Therefore this grex can be expected to be one heck of a nice plant, and I am very pleased with the turnout. It's a variable cross, and this one has tended towards the first parent (for the most part).
