Laos insigne

[Stone]

Has anyone heard of or seen the ''red'' Paph. insigne from Laos. I can't find a thing on the web! But I bought a flask anyway

This could be it: http://www.rv-orchidworks.com/orchi...pedium-bloom/19859-paphiopedilum-insigne.html

Doesn't look much like an insigne to me.

these doesn't look like true insigne or even any true species ...

Yeah, my thoughts too but we only know the insigne from India, Bangladesh and Nepal . Laos is a long way away... Still, I doubt they are insigne (looks more like a form of gratrixianum or hybrid there-of.). The insigne at http://www.orchidspecies.com/paphinsigne.htm looks pretty un-insigne-like as well but I doubt Jay would make as big a mistake as to put the wrong photo on his site.

I have this presentation by Averyanov on SE Asia slippers and it shows all kinds of crazy stuff concerning locals and forms of gratriixianum, insigne, and exul.

There's a section of the presentation that considers just about all three as clinal variants of a single species concept.

I'll review that presentation when I get a chance and see if I spot this Laotian version of insigne on it.

If Stone did get a paph barbigerum var sulovongii. Then colour me jealous as I have been looking and I had no such luck on finding.

Martin has a nice thread started here:

Those are nice! I'd be happy with any of them. I'll let you know in 4-6 years:sob:
