Paphiopedilum St. Swithin

[musa]

My big St. Swithin is in bloom again with 7 flowers.
(BTW I'm not sure if St. or Saint is correct?)





In my opinion the following 3 fotos are St. Swithin, too.
But again: It was bought as Paph. philippinense 5 years ago and now turned out to be a cuckoo's egg...

could be SS or Moustache.
Orchid Wiz has it as Saint. I must say I havent seen it written that way on many labels.

The late Doc Wilson's stud book also has it as Saint. Bill researched the entries in great detail, usually from the original sources and registrations, so I'd say that's definitive.

That dorsal looks like a stonei cupping the pouch.

Indeed the ground colour of the sepals is extremley light.

Thanks for giving me the correct name, is there any possibility to rename the thread in Saint Swithin?

everybody knows what you mean even if the Saint is abbreviated.
