Definitely no P. richardianum in my eyes maybe not even var. lynniea but a normal P. lowii. If the colours are true in the photo a very intense coloured one.

According to O. Gruss the differences are :
- a hairless ovary
- a strong mottling on the basal parts of the dorsal
- the shape of the staminode

Yes, it is normal lowii.

The color seems really dark red for any lowii I’ve ever seen. Could we see a pic in natural light without photo editing? Perhaps next to another Paph flower?

WOW. It’s cool. Greetings from Singapore.

I know photos where the color saturation for Paph flowers has been turned up. Here it looks similar... I can't help but also the green of the leaves has this intense unnatural 'coloration'.

I didn't want to say that clearly in my post #4 ... but also in my eyes the photos are all oversaturated ones.

Shouldn’t there be a rule against posting heavily edited photos?

Brucher, no and why ? Everybody is responsible for his posts .... as long as the content doesn't come in conflict with the forum rules everything is o.k.. Seems to be a question of personal taste and skills to me. So, some photos are blurred others oversaturated......

I don’t know about the mentioned species, but these colors are beautiful, very intense.

I probably post the blurred ones
