Paphiopedilum concolor in the wild

[Cheyenne]

What exactly is the material there roots are in? I can tell a little by the pictures but any information would be appreciated. Is it just moist?

But that is thrilling!!! I've never liked this species and now I know why! It's gorgeous in its habitat, but in a pot it never seems to look 'happy' to me - this flowers look upward, are completely open and really display a wonderful color!
Thanks for sharing habitat pics, they tell more than an average text can! And btw, really great photos, well done!

Thank you very much to share your magnificent photos. They are for us the only opportunity to see the environment in which Paphios grows. It helps us a lot to improve our cultures! In this case we can easly understand that the food certainly is not very copious.

Incredible!!! Thank you so much for posting the pictures, so special to see in the wild!

from your description of the habitat, it looks like the roots and plant rarely get 'hot' from sunlight, or at least very little. plants around here that only grow on northern faced slopes often need very cool roots and the plants are sensitive to too much sunlight/heat/drying

Great photos, thanks! It looks like they are growing among moss. Hmmmm.....

Thank you all for your comment and I add some more information that most off you wanted to know: They are mainly grow on northern faced slopes, the roots basically go to the soil under the moist.
