Paph. tranlienianum
This is the first one of this section in flower in 2023. Bought is as a young plant in an eBay auction from Hilmar (Jens, i hope you didn't bid in this auction).
I took the photo one day too early, because the undulatad edges of the dorsal aren't completely developed...but today they are. The flower is nice but the colouration could be a bit more intesive...... maybe next time.

Paphiopedilum gratrixianum var. christensonianum
Though the plant is more than strong it took two years until I saw her again in flower. Paph. gratrixianum is an 'oldi but goody' which has its apeal too and therefore I won't miss this plant in my collection.

Sorry Jens, the in toto photos were to blurred .... I will try it again in the next few days.

Pictures like this make me think I don't grow enough unifloral species.

Jfyi, Rudolf, the new growths take 2 years to mature, no matter how strong the plant. But your plant looks so very well grown and well nurtured, that in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, you should have new growths annually, and thus secure yourself flowering every year as the growths mature bi-annually! 😉

Oh, did I forget to say, that your flowers are very adorable! 🥰
