These are three specimen from three different species with three different locality and habitat. All Barbata section. The photos on the top were taken recently under lowland condition, conventional cultivation controlled by heavy fogging (6 S - 106 E, min. temperature, night 20 C - max temperature, day 33 C) The photos on the bottom were taken like two - three years ago when the first time i brought the plants in bloom from highland cultivation (6 S - 107 E, min. temperature, night 15 C - max temperature, day 27 C) . Every each of these species are the same specimen.
Paphiopedilum purpuratum "Yunnan Type"
Paphiopedilum callosum "Vietnam Type"
Paphiopedilum mastersianum "Buru Type"
Its quite surprising that Paph. purpuratum didnt really affected with the elevation differences, but the other two species are deformed. Maybe its not misshaped but just not widely open, and the color a bit paler as well. (Eventhough it was taken in different light levels )
