Paphiopedilum parishii in bloom
 

Paphiopedilum parishii is quite rare orchid, at least in Europa.
You are very lucky if get one. :)

Absolutely beautiful!

Very nice plant. How long have you been growing it?

Adam, i have been growing this one five years. I also have another plant same size, but that one has never been in bloom ... but i'm waiting for blooming in near future. ;)

WOW... That plant is awesome, that one is on my wish-list. Thanks.

A stunning slipper for sure!! :drool: :drool:
This is also on my wish list.
Are these fussy with their water quality??

It's very fine choice for your wish-list ...;) i'm sure you will not be disappointed.

Yes they are, i use only rainwater not tapwater at all.
At growing time the plant needs a lot of water and light.

That's a spectacular Paph! Great growing.

As a side note, I see your trees in the background... are your leaves turning already? Is summer over? We're just really starting to have our summer!

No, no ... the picture was taken last season, but the same plant is now in bud, i send pictures later.

The summer is still continuing and i hope it last 2 months at least.

On the backside there is Cercidiphyllum japonicum ...
