Paph. Pulsar x Black Buddha
This is the fellow I found at the box store last Sunday. (For $12!)
I think he's opened fully, but the dorsal is a bit lazy, so the first photo is angled up a bit more than the second (in the second I was trying to look down his throat a little so you could admire his lovely green tonsils.) I'm curious which view people prefer - please let me know.
In both, the indirect lighting was very bright, so that pretty wine color comes out. In reality, the thing is dark as the night, absorbing all nearby light. I wanted to capture that, so the third photo was taken with indirect windowsill light. The angle doesn't show the dorsal well, but the dark color is pretty accurate.
