Paphiopedilum exul

Has this plant rebloom again? Perhaps a new pic?

Yes, it blooms every year now. The above picture was taken on September 1, 2019. Last year 2 blooms but I didn't take any photo. Below are two photos taken on February 18, 2016 (1st time blooming) and September 27, 2016 (Second blooming). It also bloomed in 2017 & 2018 but I didn't take photo.

I have a big green clump that appears to be forming sheaths on at least two of the growths. I hung it with my vandas last fall, cuz it sure wasn’t blooming elsewhere. Not sure if they are going to actually produce buds yet, but orchid growers must be patient, right?

Calvins plant has definitely a strong coloration , most flowers are more yellowish. I post a few actual photos from Thai growers.
Its high season for exul, my flowers are still developing. Never got a big one up to now.

the collected plants above cost about 3 US, a lot offered, But a chance for bigger flowers comes from seed-grown plants only.

Thanks for all the pics Werner. Good to see the variation. I love the large synsepals that mirror the size of the dorsal sepal, like a frame.

I hope my two in bud will have nice colors from Sam's breeding. Should be open in 2 weeks. They are from half album breeding.

Thanks a lot Werner for posting this buch of photos with true colours.

Calvins plant has definitely a strong coloration , most flowers are more yellowish. ........

This seems to be true but.....Calvins photos are alway oversaturated. You can see it clearly at the leaves, too. Maybe he likes it and prefers it, maybe as a kind of art.....but it doesn't show the colours exactly
