Default Paph PEOY

G’day

I bought a large seedling of Paph Prince Edward of York and was wondering if anyone would like to guesstimate how long it would/should take to flower. I have attached a photo of the plant. The largest leaf is about 36 cm (14 inches). When I first saw it I thought it may not take that long as it is bigger than some of my mature roths hybrids (ST Swithin, Susan Booth), but I’ve seen some photos of PEOY and some of them are just monsters. If these photos are any gauge, I could be still many years away from flowering.

Also the label on the plant is rothschildianum ‘Nan’ x sanderianum ‘In – charm’. Does this mean sanderianum is the pod plant (or is it vice versa). Is it important which species is used as the pod plant or does it make no difference at all? I was thinking in terms of issues such as flower size and petal length. I'm interested in this topic in relation to multifloral Paphs in general.

Cheers
