Those are embarrassingly close up shots, the kind that would even make a model twinge :rollhappy:

Great pics and flowers but the sangii is my favourite. Also glad to see you're back.

Thanks folks for these kind comments.
In those weeks I wasn't really away from Slippertalk with exception of the time I spent on vacation.
It was just a matter of time when I will be back !!

Momentary two of my Paphs are flowering. Although the are often seen already I hope you will enjoy mine too.
Paphiopedilum violascens
I bought this plant in a well known German nursery as P. papuanum. I've been chasing after that species for some time. Already when the bud became bigger I had a suspect that it could be mislabeled. I take comfort in the fact that it is a quite pretty P. violascens.

Paphiopedilum niveum

that violascens is fantastic!

 

[JeanLux]

Very cool pics, thanks Rudolf!!!! I appreciate violascens, but for shape and color I am with niveum !!! Jean

I like your violascens!

Very nice Rudolf. Love the violascens. Many other species you don't see a lot of as well. You are obviously growing them well.

Wow those photos are fantastic! The sangii like others have said is practically art.

Thanks for sharing, I want some of both now..........I don't have these species but there is something special about them.

 

[Shiva]

Awesome sangii.

 

[GuRu]

Two new ones are flowering, nothing spectacular - but I like them:

Paph sukhakulii

Paph helenae (a pale yellowish/greenish form - but no album)

 

[SlipperKing]

More fantastic species. The suk appears to be quite pale, is it?
