Fantastic photos Olaf! Nice looking species too. Where is schoseri from?

 

[ORG]

From the indonesian Island Bacan. So it was named in trade also Paph. bacanum before it was described officially

Best greetings

There is a strong simularity to the other species you posted, parnatanum. What is the relationship between the two if any?

 

[NYEric]

Brains!

Several years ago, I remember something that Koopowitz wrote, speculating that schoseri might be of hybrid origin....is this still a valid idea? Take care, Eric

Dear Eric,
it is very often in the last time that after descriptions of new species in Paphiopedilum the speculation began that it is a natural hybrid. So it was with Paph. schoseri, Paph. parnatanum, Paph. intaniae, Paph. herrmannii, Paph. mohrianum. But it was also in the first time with Paph tranlienianum and Paph. hangianum. Sometimes it could be cleared by artificial propagation. So the result of selfing tranlienianum and herrmannii were true tranlienianum and herrmannii. Also I have seen some plants of Paph. mohrianum from artificial propagation, which looked really like the parent.

Best greetings
