Definitely no P. richardianum in my eyes maybe not even var. lynniea but a normal P. lowii. If the colours are true in the photo a very intense coloured one.

According to O. Gruss the differences are :
- a hairless ovary
- a strong mottling on the basal parts of the dorsal
- the shape of the staminode

Yes, it is normal lowii.

The color seems really dark red for any lowii I’ve ever seen. Could we see a pic in natural light without photo editing? Perhaps next to another Paph flower?
