Paphiopedilum venustum var measuresianum

[Djthomp28]

This little one has been open for a couple of days. It is from Windy Hill's breeding.

Nicely done, Darlene.
I have two(regular and alba) and I am getting two more. They are all from different sources/crosses...I just love this species.

Thanks, Tom. I really like this clone. Venustum took a while to grow on me. They are so unique looking that they are hard to resist.

Indeed Darlene, and yours is the real one, without these few black dots on the centre of the petals. Lovely !

I understand it may not be an alba technically speaking but I'm very fond of that "variety" of alba--a little bit of yellow on the petals and a few black dots..... and I would love to have one if I can find it.

That is super cool.

I had one flowered recently, unfortunately no photo, but I love the little cuties!

Just beautiful!

I am really into species from the Barbata section...most of them are easy and small/medium in size. I"ve added at least six species from this section for the last 2 months.

The two unbloomed siblings of this clone have slightly darker leaves. I am curious to see if the leaf color translates to any differences in the flower. Maybe a more yellow color?

Love the petals on this one!

Very nice. As soon as I recover from my latest Woodstream order I'm going to order some goodies from Marilyn.

It is possible, Darlene. I hope you will get one with some yellow on the petal and on the pouch if you do like that "variety".
