Easy growing species. Same culture with henryanum and clumps like one too.

Beautiful, the contrast between the yellow (+green) staminode and the dark petals is wonderful.

SlipperKing · Dec 16, 2013

Nicely colored. How long has it been open?

Same question for me... I would like to have growing tips, even if you grow it like henryanum, since I am not a got henyanum grower!

Yes! Dark chocolate. I got it from Ching Hua Orchids when there were in Calgary, Alberta. 'Hsynying' SM/TPS x self is the name written on the tag.

28-30c (highest) in the summer and about 17c (lowest) in winter. Lots of water and I don't give winter rest. When I give winter rest for my chinese/vietnamese paphs. The buds blast and dry out. Consistent watering is best. Humidity about 50-60%, much lower in winter. Fed every watering in summer and once a week in winter with complete fertilizer. Lighting is shaded. Growing under 24" T5 bulb. Light meter says 700 fc. Only on for 8 hrs a day.

Thanks, I like that feature also. Perhaps the best feature I like about the plant is its cyclops eyes.
