Paphiopedilum Premium Plus - Bulldog Reds & Spots

Another attempt to improve the stem length this time using an old favorite as the pollen parent.

The pod parent, Red Beauty, is an intersectional so we were excited when it held a seed pod and thrilled when we got flasks back.  Not a lot, but the few we have seen flower are delightful smaller reds.

Bringing just a hint of our successful Maudiae program into the red bulldog line we have a very large Maudiae flower, almost round and very red
