My first AOS award!
Paph. White Queen is a classic heritage white complex hybrid. This particular clone, ’Los Angeles‘, originally received an HCC/AOS with 77 points back in 1991.
Since acquiring it last year, this is its second bloom under my care—and the improvement in form is night and day. Exceptionally round, balanced, and full. At this month’s AOS judging, it officially upgraded to an AM/AOS with an 85-point score!
Award Measurements: NS: 10.2 cm, DS: 7.8 cm, PW: 5.4 cm
Beyond the show bench, White Queen has proven to be a cornerstone parent in white and pink complex breeding, with 31 registered F1 progeny to date. I’m sending this bloom’s pollen for a friend for some exciting pink complex crosses—fingers crossed for seed!
