Paphiopedilum papilio-laoticus

[mremensnyder]

Paphiopedilum papilio-laoticus is a brand newly described orchid species from Laos. Brand new as in, within the last few months, based on the information I have seen.

I actually had a plant offered to me (and this is the first I heard of it). I won't order due to the legality issues, but I'm interested if anybody else has heard of this species and if there is any information about its habitat and how to cultivate it.
