Paph barbigerum comparison

[Ross]

With barbigerum crosses from two new sources in bloom, I thought now might be interesting to compare pictures of the different barbigerums. If anyone else has photos of barbigerum, please feel free to add them.

here's the two newcomers. The one on the left is a selfing from Orchids, Ltd. and the one on the right is the first seedling to bloom from a flask I got from Ratcliffe Orchids.

Here are other barbigerums that have bloomed for me

barbigerum 'G'

barbigerum 'A'

barbigerum 'Deerwood'

barbigerum fma. aureum 'War Eagle'

Paph. barbigerum is a wonderful species. I especially like your var. aureum! It's beautiful!

I really like the selfing from Orchids Ltd., and the aureum, but they are all lovely, and the variation is really quite interesting. I think I lean towards the darker, richer colors, personally.

Each one has it's own personality.
