Paphiopedilum papuanum

[Alex]

I posted one of these a few months ago - here's another, although it is slightly malformed and has a necrotic spot at the bottom of the pouch for some reason. However, as an actual clone it seems to have extremely similar characteristics to the other one.

Cheers,

Alex

I love this species, I have more, one of them was in bud finally after more than one year, but blasted. Good sign is, that plant looks good and started to push out 2 new growths.

Good news! I remember reading about your blasting issue, hope it's solved and I'm glad this sp. is doing well for you. I haven't had it long enough to tell whether it will really like me or not.

Nice, delicate colors on this species. I like it.

very unusual

the flower is nice but the plant seems to have some difficulties to grow, isn't it?

I've only had them about 3 months, but seem well so far without particular problems. I had imagined they might need extra heat, but Cribb's book suggests that they get temperatures if 10C at night in habitat.

Wonderful, I hope it will do well, Alex. I wish it were more available.
