[Hien]

I think this is the "oh my God" paph of the year for someone who is skillful in breeding paph to buy , making flasks so it will be available to everyone.

I am sure the breeders in Thailand probably are busily making flasks of this species this minute

It is quite new, but so unusual that I think it sparked interest earlier than many.

One year ago sounds more familiar, but isn' t it some colors missing in that offered clone, this one is only purplish with almost no yellow/green?

I believe Dr. Tanaka posted a mystery plant, I will try to do a little research.

I saw a black & white photo years ago, and they were offered on eBay when Eric Meulbauer was still alive.
