Default Paphiopedilum Helen Congleton

This is a hybrid between Norito Hasegawa x delenatii.
This is my second plant to flower.
The first one had lots of fine spots on the petals near the center, but this one is spot-free.
Still opening up, so it looks greenish.
I will post again once it is fully open.

This one looks very much like Armeni White.

Shows lots of potential so far. Please repost when fully open for comparison.

I guess it's fully open now.
The flower looks much more white in the picture than real life.
The pouch is slightly pink and the rest of the flower is very light greenish white.

I noticed that the flower has a very very weak scent of strawberry ice cream.

It is subtle though and you have to stick your nose up to the flower to sense it.
