Paphiopedilum primulinum fma. flavum (‘Flutter’ X ‘Surprise’)
I think the 2nd growth is going to have a spike.

that's a chamberlainianum var. primulinum

Okay, a challenge then... Who has pix of REAL primulinum flowers and leaves. I can see where Xavier is coming from since prim fma purpurascens does have narrow, thick leaves, but EVERY prim (flavum) I've ever seen is like this. Seems the market is overrun with Pinocchios. Who's lying now little wooden boy?

Interesting discussion. And disconcerting!
Isn't it though! I'm wondering what mine is? It's from Antec & is a somewhat smallish plant.Interesting discussion. And disconcerting!
I'm a little confused. Truthfully, a few weeks ago I purchased a group of paphs. In that group where 2 that were labeled as pinocchio. One bloomed out like this:

This is what I had expected. Then the other one bloomed out like the one we are all discussing here. Truthfully, I thought it was mislabeled and replaced the label with primulinum var. flavin.
How could they both be pinocchio's and look so differently?
