The first time this plant bloomed (last year) I thought the dorsal was not so good for the plant being young and the greenhouse too hot and dry at the time... one year later, the greenhouse has better conditions, and the dorsal still have the same shape... I have seen several picture in the web of coccineum with similar dorsals... somehow, I still like a lot this species...

Last year I crossed my other coccineum (better dorsal) with one of my best helenae to produde something similar to Paph Wössner Zwerg, but with reddish colours...
