Paphiopedilum venustum

I think the colors are wonderful. The crisp green and white of the dorsal really contrast nicely with the rest of the flower. The leaves are very healthy looking also, nice tessellations !
I would think the size of the bloom will get bigger when the plant matures. Blooming in a 2" pot with just one growth is kind of premature, isn't it?

Yes it may be premature so I've discovered since posting the photo. I have had hybrids flower big on the first growth of different Paphs but my expectations were a bit high for a first flowering venustum. I am still learning I guess.....

Well... It wouldn't be any fun if we weren't still learning
