I realize it's to be expected, given the parentage, but I was thinking the same thing. I don't believe I could tell this plant apart from Paph. vietnamense, at least not based on these photos.

I havd two vietnamense and have to suspect this is what they are. Flower form is too good and the plants are too vigorous.

Hi all, I asked too opinion of two nurseries on Europe Who have vietnamense and forthem it is à True vietnamense. If the plant had been crosses with delenatii it would havedifferent leaves. So I have to change the tittle...

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Well in that case, it's a very good quality vietnamense.

Ho Chi Minh already has strongly vietnamense like leaves than delenatii.
Add another shot of vietnamense and the expected results will be something almost identical to vietnamense.
I don't see the point of such breeding. Without strict labeling, it may only add confusion and possibly lead to mistake whether intended or not.

I don't see the point of such breeding.

In the case of Paphiopedilum Vo Nguyen Giap, I could see someone wanting to produce a hybrid whose flowers look like a really high quality P. vietnamense, with longer lasting flowers, and a touch of hybrid vigor.

Paph. Ho Chi Mihn comes close, but most clones are a bit lacking in those distinct and charming characteristics of vietnamense.

Yes. And hopefully more readily blooms. Now if someone would cross this with sanderianum.

I agree completely.

In my eyes strictly line breeding would be the better choice to avoid confusion and mislabeling.
