    Default Paphiopedilum Argus

    This species from the Philippines has mottled leaves and a khaki pouch. A warm grower.

    You know..the spots on this one are quite interesting...

    Is it as easy to grow as the other mottled leaf paphs?

    This species is very easy to grow. It grows well on a wide range of temperature. Mine flowers thrice a year despite some pollution here in the city.
