Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum in wild

[Stone]

Beautiful Paphs. and fantastic photos. You're not hard to look at either,
cxcanh. Rather handsome I'd say!

Haha were does one begin?

Hey, they all look like FCC flowers! Nice to put a face to a name on this wonderful forum!
On your next pictures lift up the leaves so I can see the root attachment please

The little one in the tree is one kind of Bulbophyllum, Dend.jenkinsii also a lot in this area. I also make some photo of that one blooming now, very nice one but here I just share Paph photos only.


When you say ''this area'' do you mean they sometimes grow together? or different habitats?

You can see all 4 species in a area of 10m2 but of course they have their own way in the nature (like cliff for one species and lower other one)

Thank you all for your comments.

Definitely a little piece of paradise! Thanks for sharing, Canh!

Beautiful! I'd love to see these in the wild. They look so big and healthy.

NYEric, I was just stating a fact. Can't I admire both the beautiful plants
and the handsome man??? Now don't you tell me you don't enjoy looking
at beautiful people. I've known quite a few Vietnamese over the years and generally they are a very handsome people...and very nice too.

Angela, I'm sure Eric is teasing -- He is so guilty of such things himself. :wink:

But I do agree with you!

Awesome pictures and thanks a lot for sharing them with us. I hope that one day I will be able to travel to the east and see Paphs growing in the wild in person.

I enjoy NYEric's sense of humor immensely. Sometimes he just makes
my day happier! Over the years I've found orchid people have a wicked
humor that I love.

Pics like these I remember when folks say that GH plants do better than wild plants.

These guys don't seem to be starving.
