Paph venustum

[TDT]

I love this species for the color and pattern of the leaves as much as the flowers. This one has been open since before Christmas.

I always get a smile when I see a really good venustum.
Thank you.

I love it for the same reason. I just have one too many. hahaha

It is a pretty plant but the pouch always creeps me, it looks like brain membrane.

Great spotting on this one!

 

[Ozpaph]

venustums have some of the most beautiful leaves

 

[SlipperKing]

I'm surprised, the plant shows so much color but the flower doesn't reflex that.

That's a good looking plant.

Thanks everyone. When I first saw pictures of this species the pouch pattern creeped me out too! But meeting it in person one realizes it's all part of the charm!
