Paphiopedilum purpuratum

First time blooming this species, just open. May need a few more days to flatten out
I got this plant from Popow November 2016 at slipper symposium.







Getting excited about Paphiopedilum fairrieanum - can't wait !!

What an adorable beauty!

Couldn't help myself - and had to add a cousin/confrère to my recent order from mr. Popow.

I have to state very clearly:' I'm not 'a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown', but I'm definately a paphioholic going down a very steep and slippery slope, i.e. on the verge of an economic ditto.

If curious to know, the remaining plants in my order were:

P. dayanum (very dark type)
P. delenatii fma. vinicolor
P. bellatulum fma. 'Snow White'
P. masterianum 'dunkel' (very dark coloured)
P. wentworthianum
P. sangii

I feel like a kid who can't bear to wait for Christmas!
