Paphiopedilum bougainvilleanum opened

[Phaladdict]

Where did You buy it? I bought one on ebay from a seller called Falconer - but some people warned me about him - his material isn´t save in a way according to them - does anyone know more about him? I have made no further experiences with this guy, but the plant I bought looks like bougainvillianum to me as I remember it (thats 20 years ago on an exhibition flowering...) Anyone knows a source for bougainvillianum (and wentworthianum as well)?

If you have buy from falconer for sure is not buganvilleanum, is a scammer and even the common species like venustum he sell are in truth cheap hybrids, so sorry but no way you can have bougy from him...
