Nice flower.... I think I agree with you... this is a better 'form' of the species. The coloured form tends to look too much like brain!

Here's a great species in bloom Paphiopedilum venustum (and subspecifics) are native to India and Bhutan, from 1,000m-1,500m elevation. This species typically likes to grow in the humus, but I have also heard that it can also be found growing upon limestone (in pockets of humus).
This is the albino form; Paphiopedilum venustum var. measuresianum... I think I prefer this form over the typical form.
PS: Sorry for the crappy picture... I will try and get a better picture tommorow

Yes I agree too! This one has more subtle veining in the pouch and wide petals.
Lol the other ones look like the movie "Mars Attack" sometimes
I like very much this paphio and the flower is beautiful.
Very nice, but I like the 'brain' look to have a bit more alien color. heheheheh
Cheers,

I too prefer my brains colored, but yours is a real looker, Pat!
