Paphiopedilum

[Thantzin]

I like these flowers very much....but in my eyes they are, sorry to say this, just pale or special coloured forms of charlie and far away from the term semi-alba. Semi-alba meens - an alba form with a colourated lip or a hint of colour in the flower.

charlesworthii from forest

O.k. it is P. charlsworthii but not charlie semi-alba, even when it's taken from the forest. Taxonomists should decide wheter is is a variety or not, not me or you. With regard to take the plant at home from the forest.....I think there are much better ways to grow it e.g. leave it in teh forest, photograph it in situ and propagate it by seed.
