paphiopedilum

I always look forward to Paphiopedilum fairrieanum season. Such a magnificent bloom to brighten up the gloomiest of short dark winter days. Certainly one of the most enjoyable slipper orchids to photograph. These shots were taken with my Nikon Z8, 105mm F2.8 macro lens. The aperture used here...

I brought this plant as a seedling at least 9 years ago. It kept growing and growing and growing and not blooming. By 2024 it dwarfed every single one of my Paphiopedilum plants. Its nearly four feet across from tip to tip of the leaves. Paphiopedilum kolopakingii x Paphiopedilum...

Here’s a fuzzy green bud for you people to guess it’s ID… two guesses each and revelation in a month lol. JK ☺️… maybe in a couple days. Winner gets bragging rights lol.

Lovely flowers.

Of all my Paphs, this one is the hardiest one. It has taken everything nature has thrown at it and kept on growing and blooming. Its the most consistent in its performance. My only complaint is that the dorsal petal always stays cupped. Always produces two flowers. I will move it to...

My paphiopedilum curtisii Thank you for the correction

The inflorescence is impressively tall.

I have been checking old tags to narrow down the possible ID of my plants. This may be Paph Gevevieve Booth. What do you think?

Papiopedilum (primulinum x sanderianum) first blooming.

Hi all, been a little while since posting anything. All very slow in the greenhouse with a few plants in bud, however this Paph fairrieanum semi-album has brightened things up a little. Decided to bring it in for a portrait session yesterday, and thought I'd share the results. It's a slow...

Hello everyone, happy growing! I want to buy some Paph Niveum and Bellatulum (Species) in the future. But I really don't know if my growing conditions are adequate, I live in a country with a tropical climate :D Night Temperatures of 18C (64 F) and Day Temperatures of 25C (77 F) I grow Lady...

Hello everyone, with the permission of the administrators, do you know any Lady Slippers producer in Latin America? If there are any available on this forum, please DM

A beautiful dark cross made my Tom and Gary at little greenhouse. I am so honored to own their one of a kind cross!

These are seed grown Paphiopedilum rungsuriyanum I got 2 weeks ago. See the repotting video on my YouTube channel Paphiopedilum rungsuriyanum - ORIGIN - HABITAT - CARE - REPOT

I have had this Paph. for about one year and I really adore it. It has flowered for the first time, and it has five buds on two spikes. It would have had six but I accidentally knocked one off. I have nicknamed it 'Lucu' after my favourite tiger, due to the stripes on the flowers. Kate.

To expand my collection I'm looking for: Paphiopedilum helenae (divisions), ANY FORM OR COLOR Europe only please contact me at: [email protected].

I’m fairly new to Paph. growing , although I’ve been growing orchids for over 35 years now) and after a lot of research, I decided to focus mainly on Pahiopedilum helenae of which I currently have 4 plants of different sources now and 2 more coming next month. I’m a sucker for small and...

Very happy from Paris, Paphio Red Baron x Fly Eagle opening first bloom. Probably one of the Last orders sent by Popow orchids in Oct 2021.

Hey guys! I'm fairly new to growing orchids and I wanna buy a paphiopedilum species and I don't know which one I should get. I can tell rare species are preferred, with some of my favourites being Rothschildianum, Stonei, fairrieanum, sukhakulii and micranthum. I like most of the species though...

Hi there! new member here. I recently received a Paphiopedilum rothschildianum in bloom as a gift. It is a lovely plant, but I noticed that three leaves are browning....I haven't noticed this in photos online so I wonder if this is rotting...? if so, how could I treat it? Any recommendations to...
