Here are two pictures of Kolopakingii Sarawak.
The FIRST photo is a flower stem coming from a growth that has been cultivated...
That flower stem is from a jungle growth.
We can see immediately that the first picture is what we expect in cultivation, where the SECOND picture shows a hell of a lot of bracts before the flower stem will appear. In the latter case the flower stem is way larger.
I noticed the same type of multiple bracts before a flower stem in paph rothschildianum and stonei, but never took photos before. I have never seen that in any cultivated plant anywhere. Apparently we still have to learn and understand a lot about paph culture...
