Paphiopedilum venustum

[Mafate]

Hi all, here is my Paphiopedilum venustum blooming for the first time. I am really happy with its color.

Have a nice day.

Nice close ups!!
I should get myself venustum. I love their wild patterned leaves also!

If the petals don’t reflex any more than that you’ve got a nice one indeed. Great color, too.

I hope so too!

Truly great color. So DEEP red... maybe maroon? The nubbin on the right lateral bottom is interesting to me; I bet it resolves next time. Congratulations!

Hi all, an update one week later to see the evolution of the flower: the lateral petals have reflexed a little obviously, but not excessively, and the colors of the pouch have intensified.

Still very nice!
