Paphiopedilum vietnamense in situ

[cxcanh]

It more rare and rare, the change to see in person in their habitat more close to "impossible"

Amazing find. Sad. Thank you.

So special to see.... I hope it will not be the last. Please guard the location. Such a tragic example of near extinction for this species.

Tragic how alone and damaged this plant is. Thank you Mr. Canh, for showing us. I'm glad your work involves assessing endangered orchids! You do a terrific job.

Let's hope there's a "hidden" population out there somewhere. Question - have you ever seen any Cypripediums in your travels? You always hear reports of C. lentigenosum and C. subtropicum occurring somewhere in northern Vietnam.

Thank-you.
"Hello mum, its getting lonely out here".........

Yes, nn some report, they said there are 2 species like you said but I just saw one and do hope that I'll see another, this is C. subtropicum
