Paphiopedilum barbigerum var. sulivongii

[Djthomp28]

According to Kew, this variety of barbigerum is from Laos. Interestingly, Kew says it is a lithophyte that grows primarily in the wet tropical biome.

I need to go to the literature on this group to have a better understanding of what's what and who's who. For now, I will just post and be on my way.

This clone came from Paph Paradise.

It is very nice. What is the plant size?

 

[Djthomp28]

So far it is pretty compact. The leaves are about six inches long. It has an upright growth habit, so it is less than eight inches across.

There are two types: one with broader leaves (yours) and one with narrow ones - flowers seem to be identical...
