Paphiopedilum villosum aureum ‘Piping Rock’ AM/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

I got this awarded around 2017 from a division I got from Glen Decker. Pure golden yellow with a speck of green bos on the staminode. No brown hairs or spots on petal bases. NS 12.5 cm.

Like that you honored Piping Rock with the name, although I would have proposed "Highlighter" as an alternate. It's beautiful!

The dorsal is strangely veined, which I haven't seen before. Does this always show up?

Usually dorsal is solidly veined green. The night Ts were fluctuating a lot when I was away so might have patterned it like this.
