Paphiopedilum sukhakulii
Paphiopedilum sukhakulii is from Thailand and is named after a Thai orchid collector. It has always been one of my favorite Paphiopedilum species and this seedling, purchased a number of years ago, finally bloomed. It is a small species, has beautifully mottled foliage and ordinarily carries only one flower, but this bloomed with two. The flowers are 9cm tall and 13cm from tip to tip, not extraordinarily large for the species.

Thanks again, Elisabete. I love Paphs, though I have very little room for them, and this is outstanding among all the others in my opinion.
DeleteCongratulations to bloom Ron. It is a beautiful Paphio. Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend. How can one not love something as unusual and full of warts and hairs as this is?
DeleteVery Pretty
