OK. Hakone, what are the dimensions?

Really interesting!

 

[W. Beetus]

Wow! I don't even know if I would call that a lowii.

 

[Lars Pedersen]

Has this one been seen before, or is it a new discovery ?

There is a lot of variation in lowii, but I'd like to see some documentation of origin on this one.

 

[SlipperKing]

OK Hakone! That was a very dramatic demonstration on dimensions! How's your camera on capturing the staminode?

A interesting little paphio!

I have seen lowii with small leaves like yours! I have grown one a few years ago and the leaves are dark green and upright leaves! It had a leafspan of 9-12 inches across but the flower spike is long and had only 2-3 flowers.

Leaves look almost like Mexipedium leaves.

 

[paphioboy]

Wow. Interesting, the plant looks like philippinense var. palawanense.. Good for breeding miniature multiflorals.

 

[Paph_LdyMacBeth]

Certainly it looks lowii-ish, but as others have said its different. I almost wish my lowii's had short leaves like that!

I only see a single flower per spike in this pic, which is also uncharacteristic of a lowii.
