Paphiopedilum Tiny Tot (helenae 4n x Emerald Ring ‘Auxerrois’ AM/AOS)

This promises to be an outstanding teacup hybrid. The double dose of Paph helenae genes means it will be a very compact grower, and the huge Emerald Ring flower means we will have good size. As these are tetraploids they will be an important step for improved teacup breeding.

Strong seedlings in 2″ pots. Our helenae strain is tiny, so these are setting buds for us on very small plants just 18 months out of the lab.
