Paphiopedilum sukhakulii


Paphiopedilum sukhakulii is a species from Thailand.  It is a small plant but has large and dramatic flowers. My plant almost always blooms with two flowers per stem, rather than just one.  The flowers are 10-13 cm across.  Not only are the flowers beautiful, however, but the plant is too, with beautifully patterned fans of leaves as can be seen in some of the photos.
