brookn,

Sally Berndt is a hybrid between Paph sukhakulii and Paph Greyi (Paph Greyi = Paph goderfoyae x Paph niveum). All of these round white Paphs like niveum, godefroyae, bellatulum, and concolor are in a section of the Paphs called the Brachypetalum section (or Brachys, infomally). I have never seen a suk-Brachy cross I did not like. Paph Niverose (suk x niveum) is another one, very easy to bloom and beautiful flowers. This particular Sally Berndt has some problems with its form but that may improve on the next blooming. I'm very happy with the markings though.
