Very nice flower. This species is quite rare to see in regular collections. It looks so similar to Paph coccineum. I can't distinguish between vejvarutianum and coccineum.

Yes, the flowers are sequential. I usually cut the spike after the first one die-off to preserve the health of the plant. My friends told me this species can bloom around 7 flowers sequentially in total, much less than other types in the section Cochlopetalum.

My Paph dodyanum beautifully blooms in my tropical garden. It's very heat tolerant and easy to grow. This is the second year in a row I have it bloomed, so far is the most flower-free Paph compared to other types. The mottled leaves make it eye-catching even with no flowers. I'm happy to have it...

Thanks for your nice comment. Yes, my garden is outside.

Hi Slipper hobbyists, these are Paph. myanmaricum and godefroyae in my garden. I'm overjoyed since this is the first time I have 2 Paph blooming at the same time under my care. I'm wondering if the hybrid of myanmaricum and godefroyae exists in the market?
