Paphiopedilum Maudiae vinicolor "Double Face"

[Fabrice]

1st bloom. I bought it because I saw the bud was strange. Don't know if next bloom will be like that.

Now that is a surprise! Down right freaky

Chimera!! Nice.

The bloom reminds me of a painted clown face. I like it!

 

[Trithor]

Very cool

 

[Ozpaph]

very unusual, and attractive

 

[PaphMadMan]

Probably an unstable chimera, but very interesting. I have seen photos where the whole flower is color-split right down the middle.

Paph. Maudiae vinicolor 'Two-Face' is my suggestion for a cultivar name. It's really interesting looking.

 

[Brabantia]

Nice and strange flowering.

Kind of Frankenstein Paph.

Very original, but I wouldn´t consider it as a desirable feature for a maroon paph. (IMO).

Anyway, If you like it just enjoy it!

 

[SlipperFan]

It certainly is different.

I know this thread is many years old, but did this ever rebloom for you?
