I wish papuanum would become "typical" in cultivation.

Truly! I don't think I've ever seen it for sale.

Not since the '80s. But all those "papuanums' bloomed out to be violascens.

Interesting! Beautiful pink petals with green radiating nicely. How accurate is the color?

It is VERY common in the Indonesian trade, but the plants rarely survive transportation. That's why we never see it in quantities.

Because they all want us to write the books, but they are too cheap to buy and read them.

There's probably a handful up at Orchid's Limited.
I think they had some plants listed as ziekianum within the last 5 years.
Same boat as sangii, mastersianum, wentworthianum. Generally not very prolific, easy to kill, and low germination rates.
