Barbatum

[paphioboy]

My absolute favourite species. EVER! These are new additions:
First one:

Second:

Third (smaller cuter flower, apart from the slightly wonky petal stance).

All three were an absolute steal for the price I paid. Each were multigrowth and had several old spikes. First and second one are very compact plants, leafspan barely 15cm. I think these are Taiwanese bred stock. Native wild barbatum are rarely offered for sale at this size and are usually very much less vigorous.

I like the wild flame 'do on the top one. Nice acquisitions.

 

[emydura]

[GuRu]

Goergeous ones and #2 is is my favourite too !!

 

[Stone]

Nice blooms Paphio!

 

[SlipperFan]

I like #2, but #3 has a really cool dorsal.

These are some very nicely colored ones Paphioboy.

This species can be so variable that you never know what your getting into until you see the flowers.

I hope the one I got from Matt Gore will bloom at as pretty as these.:wink:

#2 is the closest to barbatum for me. The other 2 look like intergrades with callosum and lawrenceianum.
