    I think ,to me, this is the most elegant paphiopedilum. This is not fully open yet so should become a nice bloom in a few days time,

    One of the most beautiful of paphios and parent of so many great hybrids - unfortunately a cool grower (for us).

    Big nose and mustache? Or are we seeing different things (or just seeing things in general). To me it kinda looks like an old man from a Disney Cartoon but I could just be Floridian .

    Yep, I see it clear as day!

    Definitely an old man look! The lines could be wrinkles.
