The one not totally in the picture is more representive and what I would expect for this flower. Nice!

is that another plant or a multiple bloom on the same plant?

[paphioboy]

Very nice... I wonder how closely this would resemble (appletonianum x lowii)...

Dear Raymond,
the name Paphiopedilum robinsonii is nowerdays really a synonym of Paph. bullenianum.

The plants which were cultivated a long time as Paph. robinsonii were decribed newly as Paph. cerveranum and later new classified as
Paph. appletonianum var. cerveranum. The difference is especially to see in the staminode.

Here an example of Paph. appletonianum var. cerveranum.

Here the typical staminode, different from all typical form of Paph. appletonianum

Best greetings

Good to know -- thanks, Olaf!

Hi Olaf,

Thanks for the info. Is there anything besides the tip of the staminode that separates var cerveranum from appletonianum?

 

[ORG]

Dear Tom,
the difference is really only in the staminode

Best greetings

Olaf
