good point,you're quite right,pointed out something that I did not know.so looking on google images I seen that hcm staminoid has a spot of red that mine hasn't .on the tag was clearly write hcm but staminoid of this has no red pigment so it is more similar to a vietnamense than hcm.Looking at that HCM, there was a discussion about distinguishing the difference between an HCM and a vietnamense is looking at that staminoid. Some say HCM should have red pigment while the vietnamense is just plain green/yellow.
Hi abax, paphiopedilum Ho Chi Minh is an hybrid from (delenatii X vietnamense ).in my hands is the first bloom but the plant has already bloom,as you can see in the third photo .yes I think the next bloom will be better ( cross finger)!I'm not up to Paph. lingo just yet. Please explain hcm? If this is a first
bloom flower, it will improve with time and maturity, don't you think?
