Very cool! I like them both but probably the second better. Then again I don't know that i could really decide because they're different and special in their own ways.

So are they different plants? Or is that all one plant?

Thanks for sharing. Good growing.

The whole pot is just one plant with multiple growths. There are two clones/pots with around ~20 growths.

Interesting. I rather enjoy the possibility that Orchid flowers can vary so much whether it's on the same plant or differences between siblings. The unpredictability of it is exciting.

This is one of the reasons why I enjoy paphs. You get so much varieties within the species and thus never boring.

I think my preference for 'Lil Dipper' (aka Skinny) is that the slipper is more like the other species in the group (IE slender). Standard henryanum with the stocky slipper (aka Jimmy Durante's nose) has always been somewhat of a turnoff for me.

Interesting! I like the bulbous one. :)
