Paph moquetteanum

[lanthier]

And another slipper opened: Paphiopedilum moquetteanum (that was fun to type). Highlights for me are: super tall spike; big bloom (4.5in x 3in; 11.5cm x 7.5cm; W x H); egg like pouch; red outlined leaves; and twisty hairy petals.

Looks like a happy plant.

I almost lost mine after it got an HCC from the AOS.... but it's springing back finally. Hope it blooms next year

Big and lovely flower on a strong plant. Well done.

.....Paphiopedilum Moquetteanum (that was fun to type).......

Sorry, I don't like to correct an university professor (Lol), but it's Paphiopedilum moquettianum, a true and accepted species. With a capital letter M it would be a hybrid.

In spite of my university faculty position, I love and live to learn!!!

I can only, yet again, second my Bavarian counterpart... once again turning this site into one of these internet bubble, echo chambers, that are so much talked about these days!

I'll be sure and post some controversial topics (ugly plants) to keep things lively .....

Hope so too Don. I was looking at my other one, an it looks like it blasted in low bud. I was not aware it was thinking of blooming!!!!
