You want to know all my plants secrets, don't you?!
Well, I'll ask young master Esquirolei if he agrees... :rollhappy:

Already made the comparison of hirsutissimum/esquirolei traits and this together with comparing to the last years flower on the same plant leads me to - no conclusion at all. oke: So, if orchids & more are right - which is easy to say - this one arrived labeled esquirolei and will stay esquirolei.

So, here they are:

Paphiopedilum esquirolei fide o&m from the side; and

Paphiopedium esquirolei fide o&m and his hairy back.


The spike is short this year due to a heavy mealy-bug infestation while still nesting in the sheath. After cleaning it did grow on, but stayed short.

Thanks, Secun. Makes me think all of mine are esquirolei, also.
