Weird Paphiopedilum Johorensis

I was expected that the flower was perfect but come out as handicapped. Paph Johorensis found in Johor Southern Peninsular Malaysia.

I have had paphs that do that too. Next bloom it will be fine. Not sure why some do not open and develop correctly. I think it has to do with water, but that is a guess.

Doesn't look quite right but the pouch color is beautiful, very promising for the next one ...

it looks like it wants to keep water out of it's pouch, so it has a shed roof. I have seen quite a few anomalies over the years but this one is a first for me.

The fun of growing Paphs, looks more like P.barbatum though.

odd development, I've never seen a flower twist like that .
My first time hearing of Paph Johorensis

P. johorensis is another name for P. bullenianum. The pic above is neither.

[smartie2000]

if you mention bullenianum then, I agree. It can't be one
