Paphipedilum hookerae (Mallingham HCC x Joanid)

[jokerpass]

This is the 2nd time it flowered. A very slow grower. Not only it is a very slow grower, from budding to blooming takes about 3 months (which is slow for a Paph species).

How the leaves look like? Plain green or with reddish underside? It looks like the hookerae x volonteanum that were around a while back....

Hookerae has soft green leaves, with nearly no purple underside. Volonteanum has very thick leaves that are nearly completely red underside...

I have the same cross Xavier and I suspected the same. I could never find a good picture of the Joan ID plant.

Very nice.Hook x volonteanum is an often seen cross, hook has rounder form but volonteanum has darker colour , aim could be round dark flower.I only have 2 pure volonteanums, one is in spike, as Xavier said,with dark, narrower, straight hard leaves.
