What a strange thing sangii is, in all its manifestations ; when they appear at shows in Europe, I look at them, and think - hey, I can buy three Vandas for that price, so I curl my lip and say, "don't really like it"...but I am glad to have the opportunity of seeing this one.

I like this one the most. Sangii looks like some kind of creature to me.

[Raver]

Cool, i like the hairs.

I don't think this is at all wierd, to me it as one of the nicest paphs and difficult to flower.

Strange to me, thanks for sharing.

I also think it is a strange looking flower, although I would not mind having one. Any comments about what is happening to it's offspring.
