What Paphiopedilum is this???!?
 
I bought this Paph at the local supermarket (it wasn't flowering at the time), now that it is flowering...was wondering what the name of this was?
Any guesses to the species?
My one ID book has 2 that look like this one:
Paph. callosum

OR

Paph. fowliei

I am pretty sure that it isn't a Phrag., but I am still new to all the various species.

Thanks for any and all help!

Mark

Here is a Picture Gallery of Paphs ..
Orchid Photo Galleries - Paphiopedilum / Paph species and Hybrids.
Could it be a Paph. Lawrenceanum? :hmm

This is not a species, but a hybrid derived from Paph Maudiae (lawrenceanum x callosum). There are many such crosses, and without a name tag it is almost impossible to figure it out. These days both species are fairly rarely found, and certainly not at a supermarket.
Sometimes some very good hybrids are available at such sources.....

Thank you Dorothy and Phantasm, this helps out a lot!
It would have been nice to get the name when I bought it...but there were 2 of them and for $10 each :drool: ...enough said! :biggrin:
