Wow! That's super! What colour! Is the flower and plant habit very petite, like other varieties of barbigerum? Thanks for posting this, Olaf.

 

[Ross]

Very different, color wise from most other barbigerums. I like the bold striping.

 

[NYEric]

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Gorgeous! Are there any synonyms? Is this anything like Paph "trantuanii"?

This is a variety from Laos and described some months ago.
There is no synonym.

Best greetings

The description of the new variety is here:

it is bilingual, just scroll.

Olaf, great picture, again, and I am always amazed of the rare stuff that poses for your camera.
To me, the plant in your pic resembles gratrixianum and villosum in quite a few features. If the petals were less undulated it would look like gratrixianum var. daoense just with a different dorsal colour.
That whole species complex is really interesting and fascinating to me. I'm sure there are more surprises to turn up from the jungles.

Amazingly beautiful Olaf! Thanks Carsten for the link.

Dear Carsten,
it is no wonder that I have always the possibility to make pictures of quality-Paphs. I live in the same valley only some miles away from one of the best orchid-nurseries in Europe, the nursery Wössner Orchideen, Franz Glanz in Unterwössen.
There I can find very often the newest hybrids and some times also interesting species.

Best greetings and best wishes for the EOC next weekend in Dresden.

Olaf
