Paphiopedilum purpuratum

[musa]

Here is one of my new acquisitions of last year:
5th foto is done in netural light for colour reference.

And again there is the effect that after a while the dorsal curls backwards. The first days after opening it was perfectly flat as in foto no. 6. (Sorry for the colour, it' my growlight)

Such loveliness.

Purpuratums have such unparalleled beauty, and this one is just that.

As good as purpuratums get!

You can't chastigate the poor plant for adhering to its innate and inherent nature!

Love that fifth photo. Very natural in terms of color.

Thanks to all! I'm very satisfied myself with it!

I don't blame it for the effect, in fact I like it when flowers go 3-dimensional. Just mentioned it as we already had that discussion on other species.

Unfortunately without a tripod my pocket camera produce mostly blury fotos without flash.

Never get enough of this species. Glad you appreciate the dorsal doing exactly what it should.

Lovely P. purpuratum I like it very much, but I'm honest it's easy to like P. purpuratum.

Tha's normal with purpuratum and you can't fight nature....even as an Archangle. Lol
