What a lovely flower ... I like the contrast of the dark blue lip with the rest of the flower.

Great !

Lovely .... and in this case the name of the dealer says it all .

Tony, this one has a real dark colouration, very pretty 👍 .... many of them have a colour which is much lighter until golden or yellowish.

The P. philippinense is great and even the Miltonia is very nice ... 👍

Leslie, both are outstanding beauties ....

Very nice ones ... even if the plants are small and haven't reached their full potential.

Brucher, no and why ? Everybody is responsible for his posts .... as long as the content doesn't come in conflict with the forum rules everything is o.k.. Seems to be a question of personal taste and skills to me. So, some photos are blurred others oversaturated......

I didn't want to say that clearly in my post #4 ... but also in my eyes the photos are all oversaturated ones.

This photo is way better. 👍

David, at the moment I'm not very familiar with the differences which separate P. (var) christensonianum. I will try to find it out in the afternoon reading in Olaf's book and maybe this can enlighten us.

Pretty flower .... but sorry to say this ... a too dark photo, therefore you can't see any details.

David, at least the left flower in the last photo looks a lot like this. Maybe you are right. 🤣

Herbert, I learnt here in the past ... it depends whom you will follow. - 'Die Orchidee' Vol. 3(06)2017 lists 3 varieties of P. gratrixianum ... var. gratrixianum, var. christensonianum and P. sulivongii ...... Paph. daoense is listed there as true species. - KEW Science lists Paph...
