Paphiopedilum concolor var. hennisianum
a gorgeous little Paphiopedilum. Actually, the flowers are smaller than what I had expected  but the plus plus is that they are fragrant: light fresh coconut with green apple (the colsest description I could give) during the day. Did not know there were fragrant Paphs 
Paphiopedilum concolor var. hennisianum is supposed normally have "multiple blooms" spikes. Well, at leats two 
enjoy! |

So delicate and cute, Ramon. Do you grow this on your windowsill along with your Phrag?
And how big are these blooms?

This one, as well as paph. sukhakulii, Paph. fairrieanum, Paph. Wössner Zwerg and Paph. Wössner Goldsuk, grows under T8 lights. The reason for this? well, I think its only because I do not have enough space on the windowsill and had still some space under the T8 on the other hand Paph. fairrieanum is supposed to need more light.
I have this guy since 3 or 4 months, and this is the first time it blooms here (however, the plant is quite "large" and has "spike rest" on 3 old fans)
The flowers are about 6x5 cm (2.5x2 inches?) |

Exactly what I was going to say! With the yellowish/cream color and brown freckles, it reminds me of vanilla ice cream, yum! I have never heard of a scented paph either, so it must not be very common!
