Large paphiopedilum

No tag. In full bloom

and close up.

I discovered flower stalks on two of my paphs today.
Both of these were purchased around Oct/Nov from
Zephrus. I am excited to see what the colour will
be. I asked for darks or whatever they could send
me and both names indicate they could be dark.

A few orchids currently in bloom.
I also picked up a deal on 6" potted Kiwi Geyser 6.95 ea.

Lost a few of my paphs in the change over. Didn't like the
new environment I guess. Everything is handling it quite
nicely and I am enjoying the room. I managed to acquire a
five paphs to replace the ones lost and they are climatizing
nicely.

Cypripedium var. pubescens
This was a cultivated variety and has been growing very
well in my garden for the past 10 years or so.
This year they multiplied and I managed to transplant a
few in other areas around the garden. They really enjoy
alot of leaf mulch and compost.

I purchased this Paphiopedilum recently and it had no tag
but it couldn't be left behind. Anyone know what it is??
The bloom is approx 1 to 1 1/2 inches in width and height.

My current orchid set up under lights in a North facing room
seems to be working well.
I have two in bloom and all the paphiopedilums appear to be
healthier for the set up.
