Paphiopedilum helenae 'Medusa' AM/AOS, CCM/AOS

[Phred]

I took one of my helenae to the Carolinas Judging Center this last Saturday. The plant was awarded a 83 point AM and a 86 point CCM.
It has 9 open flowers and has been in bloom since the end of September. I think 9 flowers is the highest flower count for a helenae award in the AOS. I'll post better pictures when I get them.
