philippinense var. palawanense, druyri, helenae

[abax]

Beautiful collection, but my heart always goes out to helenae and your
bloom is gorgeous. I just bought a druryi and I dearly hope it's as
lovely as your bloom. The distinct markings are so attractive.

Great diversity, and really nice looking flowers.

I'd take them all:drool:

Do you have any documentation on the philippinense?

 

[daniella3d]

I like the Philippinense. How many hours per day did you give it before flowering? Also do you have a difference in temperature between day and night and if so, how much?

I am trying to make mine flower. They are growing huge amount of roots and leaves, but no flower.

It has about 6 hours of direct light and overall 10+hours of light in the summer. In the summer my evening temperatures go down to 15C/60F and day time temps go up to 35C/95F for about an hour or two before cooling down again. Average day time temps are 25C/77F with the nights pretty constant at 15C/60F.

when you say direct light, do you mean unfiltered sunlight?

No, it is filtered by shade cloth on my greenhouse to protect from direct sun. My philis are in brighter spots of the greenhouse compared to my other paphs.

[/QUOTE=Spaph;494982]Paph. philippinense var. palawanense... will post an update picture when all 3 flowers are open!

Inspired by Paphman910's praestans pics I tried the blue sky background to showcase all three flowers open on my Paphiopedilum philippinense var. palawanense. In the sun the petals have this beautiful purple color, I am just thrilled with this plant! :clap:

Purple on the petals
