Paphiopedilum insigne

[Bolero]

Cool growing paph. I bought this one Ebay last year and this is its first bloom for me. It's a tiny flower compared to others I've seen but not a bad flowering. It's the first one I have flowered and the only one I own so I'm pretty happy with it. I think it's cute anyway and it grows beautifully even when it's cold like I grow it........

love it! cool growing Paph, eh? I may need to look into these - do they tolerate short periods of heat?

Let's just say if I can grow this in Southern Australia then you should be easily able to grow it in Northern California. It gets lots of heat in summer, sometimes to much heat.

Gorgeous!

I think this is one I have a primary hybrid of, I'll have to check. That's got a pretty small flower compared to others as well.
