I love the look of paphs with mottled leaves. I would grow them even if they didn't flower, just for the leaves

Paphiopedilum wenshanense
Very cute and small Paphiopedilum wenshanense is actually ready to bloom. I think it is trying to have a spike but it is either blasting or not developing correctly. Or maybe it is just slow.

I agree the mottled leaves are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's always nice to get an orchid where the leaves aren't one of the "grassy thing with a bulb" variety so typical of orchids!
ReplyDeleteMy Maudiae type paph, also with mottled leaves, is busy putting out an enormously long spike - can't wait for the bud to finally open, it's been getting fatter and fatter!
That is so great! I don't have any Maudiae types yet, but will be trying them too.
ReplyDeleteThey do take their time with spikes testing our patience.
