Hi all, My Paphiopedilum canhii is blooming at the moment, the staminode of this species is very pretty. No merit, I received it budding.

Thank you Rudolf. Yes, stacking method. I don’t remember exactly how many pictures I used, but around 25 I think.

In full bloom now! 😊

Hi Rudolf, wow, it’s my turn to compliment you on these very beautiful plants, very nicely photographed. 👍 Did you use stacking method?

Hi all, here is my Paphiopedilum lowii flowering for the first time. One flower opened, 13 cm wide, 2 more to come. Regards.

Why? Do they need cool temps?

Nice plants, good luck to grow them!

Hi all, thank you for your kind comments. Yes I confirm that the foliage is totally unmotteled, it is totally dark green. Istvan, I got this plant last year from a French nursery named « Les orchidées de la Belle étoile ». This is the site: https://www.orchidees-belle-etoile.fr/ Have a nice day.

Hi all, Paphiopedilum wardii 'Album' is blooming here for the first time. The flower is 93 mm wide.

Yes, I think you are right, I moved my plant some days ago at the brighter place I can give it at this period of the year, I hope it will be enough! Thank you for your help. 👍

Thank you very much Tom, yes, it helps a lot! 👍
