Paphiopedilum barbatum var. nigritium ‘pygmy’

[MarioQ]

Wonderful flower and great foliage that it reminds me Gregorian Chant notation 😀 (yes, I’m musician 🎶)

Very graceful ...

Seems like they are in sync as I have two buds about to open.

why 'nigritum'?

why 'nigritum'?

I thought the same, expecting a darker form. Nigritium = black

Ok! And days ago I saw a new bud growing between leaves. It seems to me that this species is very attractive with its leaves and overall harmony with more than one flower blooming. Very nice!
