Paphiopedilum insigne 3N

[Guldal]

One of the insignes, that I brought home from my friend Hans Christiansen's 54th nursery anniversary, has developed a bit since then, so bear with me, that I repost it separately.
Stephen (Ozpah) asked me the first time round, how I knew, the plant was polyploid. Then I could only point to its well documented proveniens - now I'll just say, take a look at it:

NS: 7 cm; DS: 6,5 cm; H: 10 cm.

Very nice insigne, especially round dorsal, what is rarely seen at this sp.

Thank you, Istan!

It was a little more 'hooded', when I got it (as you can see in the original thread). Hans had chosen one for himself with a more round and upright dorsal... during this last week mine acquired the same nice stance and form as Hans' plant!

That’s an impressive dorsal for insigne!
