Paphiopedilum acmodontum First Time Bloom

[BrucherT]

Very similar, that one I consider the 'best of the bunch' but IMO none have been a 'keeper'.

You’re tough. I think both of these are wonderful.

Good crosses too. Can’t wait to see second one.

Here’s the second plant to bloom... a sib to the first one. The dorsal is a little of but that might be from having to change positions after staking it... it was twisted with one petal up and the other pointing down. It righted itself in a day. Will still change over the next few days. It’s a little over 9cm NS right now.

The staminode looks a little odd but apart from that it is a beauty!
