Paph. Hsinying Macassar x Paph. urbanianum

This is a cross of Paph. Hsinying Macassar '#1' x Paph. urbanianum, purchased from Ebay. See the little 'wings'? I am not sure if this is common. So far, this is the only one that is winged.

Daylily Going Green (Inimitable x Zephyr’s Song; P. Stamile, 2008). A lemon yellow-spring green bloom opened perfectly well this morning. The bloom has good size (6") and its substance heavy. A very nice cool color, brightens the daylily bed.
