Paphiopedilum philippinense var. philippinense ‘Keith’s Smile’ AM/AOS

[DrLeslieEe]

Well, my hunch was right! It impressed the judges to give it an AM/AOS of 82 points! The owner JBarnes was anxiously waiting for the results since last night lol.

Once again Leslie, thanks again for convincing me to enter it, it sure was a nail biting week. Lol

Congratulations to you both! Did the judges question the var philippinense description of the plant or is that something judges don’t comment on?

Yes they checked that var philippinense has green veins on the staminode.

Good to know. How is it different from this photo. Is the veining more prominent? Would be great to compare if you have a photo for our education.

Congrats to the grower JBarnes (Penetang) for growing such a lovely speciment plant. Also congrats to you, Leslie for naming the plant now correctly.

Yes they checked that var philippinense has green veins on the staminode.

I mentioned that the green veins/markings don't fit to var. roebbelleni already in the other thread.

I'm picking the plant and paperwork up tomorrow, depending upon what time I get home, I'll take the picture tomorrow or Wednesday.
