Paphiopedilum barbigerum

[P.K.Hansen]

I've had her for a few years, but these are the first flowers under my care.
I love these smallgrowing types. 7 cm pot.

And a toto shot for Jens

And a toto shot for Jens

Much appreciated! And due to the heavily coloured, central part of the dorsal, my guess would be, that we are in the realm of var. lockianum!

 

[P.K.Hansen]

Could be, but it's only labelled as barbigerum.

Stunning a really beautiful display

Var. lockianum IS a barbigerum!

And what a nice display your li'l beauties make! And the plants look extremely well grown. Kudos!

 

[GuRu]

Lovely flower and a well grown plant too. Congrats

......my guess would be, that we are in the realm of var. lockianum!

Agreed, it may be P. coccineum (according to KEW)

 

[DrLeslieEe]

Nicely flowered.

Coccineum, lockianum, barbigerum, vejvarutianum .... any more to confuse us?

 

[P.K.Hansen]

"Var. lockianum IS a barbigerum! "
I know, and what I meant was that the label doesn't say:
barbigerum var. lockianum
So I won't speculate in other names than simply barbigerum.

Come on, Leslie, no reason to mess things further up by dragging mr. Vejvarut into the picture! Phred took very nicely care of that for us:

Click on: 'Phred said' and you go to the actual post with the very instructive photo comparison between vejvarutianum and coccineum in a more viewable form!

barbigerum var. lockianum

It wouldn't be the first time a plant was mislabeled!

And, please, notice that Rudolf and I do not disagree in respect to the identification of the plant, just concerning the correct name (and this disagreement primarily rests on, whether you acknowledge KEW as the utmost authority or Averyanov, Cribb et al. in their monograph of the Slipperorchids of Vietnam).

So I won't speculate in other names than simply barbigerum

You, lazily chickening out this way, won't keep me awake at night, though!

Hopefully not. You badly need your beauty sleep

 

[DrLeslieEe]

So I have a vejvarutianum about to open. Will post it once that happens ... and wait for it’s ID discussion lol.

 

[werner.freitag]

whatever it is, very nice !

 

[Ozpaph]

well grown and flowered

I need mine to grow and bloom like that. Gorgeous!
