Paphiopedilum fairrieanum

[NEslipper]

First bloom seedling I got a few years ago from Paph Paradise. Cross is ‘Dark dark’ x ‘Big-n-flat’. I thought this was a casualty of treating my plants for thrips this summer, since the entire sheath turned brown, but I guess it really wanted to bloom!

Great flower with 9.9 of 10 points.....and obviously a plant with a 'strong will' to flower.

Total dream! I thought fairrieanum was a spring bloomer? So interesting and stunning.

impressive fairrieanum! Paph Paradise has some top breeding lines!

Thanks for the comments! The flower has settled in some more, and while it exhibits some ruffling along the edges, overall it has really flattened out.

Awesome!!! It has such an elegant and aristocratic look. Got one short ago hope to not cook It under our summer heat!

Congrats on the beautiful bloom! I love the close ups! Really great shots of all the very red hairs. Would love to see the pattern on the staminode.
