 What were they thinking?
Ross got me thinking with his thread what do you get when you cross a chihuahua with a saint bernard. Have you seen a listing for a new cross that made you go What were they thinking? This could be fun, let's hear about it!
This cross is registered - Edmond Samuel Ritter (sanderianum x charlesworthii). I couldn't find a picture, all I can imagine is a charles dorsal with sand's petals! Yikes! or Renate Thum (sand. x sangii), this is a hard one to comment on! |

Umm. I bought the Renate Thum. But I killed it. Maybe that's for the best;>

Okay, I have one for you, and actually I can change it to What was I thinking?? It is Paph. King Tutankhamen, a cross between concolor and sanderianum.
I hate to admit it but I am the breeder who is responsible for this ugly duckling:  Another seedling:  At the time I made it, because concolor x sanderianum had not been registered and I was curious to see what it would look like. I think in general Paph. sanderianum should only be used with other multifloral species or hybrids, if you cross it with anything else, it usually turns out ugly, because the petals usually will be all deformed. Another problem I have noticed with sanderianum hybrids, is that usually the first flower will never come out right, and is usually pinched. Robert |

Rose, I was mainly interested in it because I really dig sangii and rarely see hybrids offered. Due, I'm sure, to it's rarity in collections and ability to stay alive in said collections. I sort of expected it to bloom out on the ugly side but the curiosity got the better of me. Interestingly the leaves looked more similar to sangii and I kept it alive for about 6 months before it got crown rot one night and keeled over. I would actually buy another because I've not learned my lesson.

Robert, maybe King Tut would be better off back-crossed to sand..? Wonder what might come out of it..

Robert, I know I've commented on qualities or lack of in the odd flower but silly enough, I like these, might have to iron out the petals at the ends but they are nice. How are they for growth rate and flowering time span from flask.
