Paphiopedilum tonsum var. braemii

[Daniel Herrera]

This is my first bad attempt to black background with my orchids. I need a real camera. Anyways, enjoy!

A beauty. The photo is actually quite good.

I agree. Makes me want one.

That is quite a demure species. I like the balanced triangular shape, and delicate earthy tones.

Lovely and a lovely picture!

That's a fine photo. The slipper is a bit shy and delicate.

 

[Bjorn]

Brilliant photo! But, how do you grow them? i have a bunch standing there getting taller and taller without any signs of buds. Is there a trick?

 

[Ozpaph]

Very unusual.
Front light the flower a bit more to so it doesnt look so 'artsie'.

 

[NYEric]

Nice, BTW, a real camera turns out to not be a solution sometimes.

 

[Erythrone]

Beautiful!

 

[17andgrowing]

[Wendy]

That's great!

Thank you all for your comments, I bought this orchid at the end of last year so it has not been with me for too long. I grow it in a terrarium with intermediate temperatures along with all of my paphs.

A delicate beauty you have there. And the photo is good!

That is quite unusual tonsum.

Cute!

Could you please tell us leaf span in mature growths?

I have one too and, as I´ve never seen this plant before I don´t know how many lifes do I have to wait until it decides to flower.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late reply. The leafspan of the plant is about 6.5 inches
