Paph bougainvilleanum

[rob]

This is a first bloom on a single growth plant that has been blooming for over two months. It has a wonky dorsal and stamenoid shield, but I hope it will get better next time it blooms. This plant came from Sam Tsui a few Slipper Symposiums ago. Still getting used to this camera--my photos should get better with time.

You don't see this one very often. It's one of my favorites. Any tips?

I see a deformed P violascens

It is very nice, although a bit deformed, if it is a bougainvilleanum!!! But, I think it is what Paphjoint says...!!!!

I've been informed, since posting this picture, by an associate of Sam's that there where some plants that where mislabeled in this group of seedlings. It seems that I got one one:sob:I guess this gives me a chance to buy another plant. In the future I should take advantage of all those paph books I have bought and do some double checking before posting.

It's OK Rob, this time! Nice P violascens

Aren't these supposed to be quite difficult to grow? Good job!
