Paphiopedilum kolopakingii f. ALBUM

[Mahon]

This is the ultimate Paphiopedilum... if I recall, there is only ONE known plant of an albino Paphiopedilum kolopakingii, and it is not in the US... this is the first time blooming, and it is a little wack but good flowers are at the end of the spike, and next season it will definitely have better formed flowers (always works that way )... here's the rare albino form, I'll post new pictures when the flowers open up fully:

Another great plant! You are very lucky to have a rare one like this!

[Mahon]

Thanks, Fren! It will be selfed and outcrossed with the typical form as soon as flowers start to show they are dying out...

Yes. definitely do propagate it. Good luck

BTW your photos of the three kolopakingii are great
