Paphiopedilum purpuratum

[Damas]

Small, simple and colourfull, I like purpuratums

 

[GuRu]

I like them too. :drool:
Yours is showing a second bud so it will bring more joy to you in the next few weeks - well done.

Best regards from Germany, rudolf

This is one of my favorites to Damas.

Very pretty. Pretty odd seeing it in bloom in Spring.

I've killed my fair share of this species until I understood how critical providing a humid environment was for them.

Wonderfully crisp colors!

Pretty odd seeing it in bloom in Spring.

I grow it under lights, that might be the reason. It blooms anytime, as long as one growth is mature enough. Last year, it bloomed in August.
It is true that they like to be kept moist.

Good to know; I will leave this species alone until I have the right growing conditions...


Lovely bloom btw!
