Any Paph virens in the USA

[Rick]

Just looking for virens (javanica)

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't Sam at Orchid Inn have flasks?

Very rare variety of javanicum. Most of the plants recently in the trade are a Kalimantan type of javanicum, not the real virens, that comes only from Sabah.

Thanks all.

This species has only been posted a few times on this site, and most likely as javanica if you use the search functions.

It's in the barbata group and most allied to appletonianum/bullenianum types. But mostly a green flower with pink to red petal tips.

I saw one yesterday and tried to take a pic, and only realized it was blurry after the fact. I'm posting it anyway because it gives a sense of the flower, I will try to get a better one if I go back soon.
