Paphiopedilum venustum
Bought this orchid two weeks ago in bud from eBay. Couldn't be any more happier! I love the bloom! This paph species paved way into my liking the paph genre.

It made it your way in this cold weather!
I think it is also the first paph to be cultivated back in the 1800s.
Happy Growing!

Yes it made it's way undamaged. It was packed really well with a 72 hour heat pack.
That's an interesting trivia!

Good for you!
I once bought a paph in spike in February.
It came with a cold heatpack and frozen spike. lol
I sent it back to where it came from.

I want to share this photo i took earlier. The effect of the LED light passing through the pouch is reminiscent of an alien egg of some sort ready to hatch to destroy humanity! lol
