Pretty picture: Paphiopedilum Gina's Child

Paphiopedilum Gina's Child is, sort of literally, Gina's Child:

Paphiopedilum Gina's Child = Paphiopedilum Gina Short x Paphiopedilum rothschildianum (Ref.)


Though I have to think that if Gina actually loved her, she would have given her a name of her own, instead of just "Gina's Child."

Also: this is a crappy picture. I feel like it was probably a lot more winsome in person. My camera seems to do better with red-brown or otherwise dark Paphiopedilums than it does with yellow / light ones.
