    Tim, no real guessing needed. The first one stuck out like the usual and the plant growth shape of the second gave it away also, including the big bud.

    hello !

    Bud is not yet opened but it's more than 2.5 inches ! It is one of the largest paphiopedilum bud I have seen.

    It has two 2 big dimples on the dorsal. Because of the big size, flower won't be necessarily beautiful. We will see at time !

    It has not an excellent shape (slipper, ...) but has a nice color and a delicate fragnance !
