These are all wonderful. The final one, the Paphiopedilum concolor var. striatum is so cool!

I love these. The var. striatum looks like what I have seen labeled as var. longipetalum, but I'm not entirely sure what the difference is because I have seen this type labeled as both. Does anyone have clarification of var. striatum versus var. longipetalum?

So beautiful.... i liked the v.striatum.

[catttan]

Beautiful. Love them all.

I'd call them var. longipetalum, because I don't see a difference. hmmm... I have never heard of striatum. But I am not the concolor expert.

I think longipetalum is different enough that it could be placed as a new species

[hanka]

I do not see difference also, but well-known breeder qualified him so and orchids' discoverer Mister Popow.

The thin petaled one is the new variety called Paph. concolor var.longipetalum.
Striatum is different....is similar to normal concolor,with tripes on petals like in this longipetalum.
