Paphiopedilum purpuratum in situ

[abax]

I'm always thrilled by your in situ photos. Amazing that
we take such care to grow them insect free and worry about every little spot on the leaves, but in nature they
do beautifully without all the fuss. May I ask what camera you use for your photos? Your pictures always have such clarity and depth.

Super pics! What do you do to earn a paycheck? You must be self-employed to have so much free time.

Actually, I do not have much free time, during blooming season of each species I'll take 1-2 annual leave day to go to field to take photo only.

We thank you for the effort and dedication. It is a privilege to be able to share your experience.

That is very impressive and inspiring.

Thank you.
I'll try to take photo of all Vietnamese's Paph species in the wild.

Thank you.

That would be great. And it would be wonderful if you could have them published, perhaps on Jay Pfahl's site, or Steven Manza's.

Some of my favorite pictures are of orchids in their natural habitats.
Very, very beautiful! Thank you for sharing

Canh, .... are these photos of P. purpuratum taken just east of Hong Kong? Also, have you ever seen this species with white colored backsides? Love your photos and your dedication. Thanks.
