Here some pictures of my Paphiopedilum herrmannii.
This is really a very nice distinct species and no natural hybrid.

Best greetings

Hello Olaf,

I'm glad to hear this from you as a taxonomist. I've been always skeptical about the state of P. hermanii as a natural hybrid how it is claimed by some leading taxonomists. In my eyes it's been always a distinct species.
Not to forget your plant and especially the photos are extraordinary.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

Olaf, I think you were getting a bit too excited when you posted these photos. The third one down, the view of the back of the flower, is a photo of your gratrixianum (Vietnam), not the herrmannii.

Dear John,
you have good eyes.
Shall I say that it was a test, but I was only in hurry and named the files uncorrectly.

Here the correct backside.

Best greetings, excuse my mistake and many thanks

Olaf

Ha! That's better. Thanks Olaf. It sure is a lovely species and it's nice to see so many photos from different angles. Thanks for posting these!

Are those selfings or outcrosses Olaf? They look uniformally nice!

We just added one to our collection as well and I have to say, that your pictures are certainly giving me something to look forward too! Beautiful.
