Bred from two proven Tetraploid parents this cross 
has created great interest throughout the Orchid 
world. We are quite confident that selected forms 
will be used for breeding themselves. We do expect 
most forms to be definitely in the pink shades. As 
both parents are famous for their vigor and free 
flowering qualities we are confident that this cross 
will show these characteristics also. Both the Babylon 
and Pauwelsii parents are noted for their spectacular 
lips and we do expect that quality here also.

PAUWELSII “Comte d’ Hemptinne,” 
FCG RH: 
Pauwelsii “Comte d’ Hemptinne” is recognized 
throughout the world as an outstanding parent. Some 
of the finest results have been obtained where hybrids 
derived trom Alexanderi “Westonbirt” were used as 
the other parent such as the cross offered here. Ga- 
briel var. Angelus is one of the most striking plants 
we have seen. The waxy white sepals and petals have 
remarkable substance, the sepals carrying light pink 
blushing on their backs. The most striking character- 
istic, however, is its brilliant ruby red lip which is 
solidly colored and rivals the lip markings of that 
famous plant, Queen Mary, AM., RHS., the lip color 
here being perhaps more intense. To our knowledge 
this is the first hybrid ever offered bred from Gabriel 
“Angelus.” It is difficult to predict the coloring of 
this cross; however, we feel many shades of pink and 
rose through to many pleasing multi-colors such as 
peach, apricot, and even some yellows. Due to the 
parentage, especially brilliantly colored lips can be 
expected.

var. Spring Gold X Pauwelsii var. Comte 
d’ Hemptinne, FCC., RHS.) 
This is a repeat on one of the most successful crosses 
we can bring to mind. President Wilson, Westonbirt 
var., AM., RHS., which is green shaded bronze, was 
used on the Armacost and Royston Strain. The Presi- 
dent Wilson var. Spring Gold used here is bred from 
Alexanderi, Westonbirt var., FCC., RHS., and is a 
rich bright yellow with a dark reddish bar on the lip. 
We do expect many bright yellows with various 
shadings. We have only a limited number of plants 
to offer of this cross.
