What Paphiopedilum should I choose?

[Neverend]

I'm interested in getting a Paphiopedilum, unfortunately I live in a 1. warm-hot (26-32 degree Celsius) & 2. humid but windy climate. I'm have the following species to choose from:

Paphiopedilum lowii
Paphiopedilum chamberlainianum
Paphiopedilum lawrenceanum
Paphiopedilum hookerae

So, which one paph from the list do you guys think will grow and flower best in my climate?

Go to this site

Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia

and I think you will find you live in a area where more than just FOUR species can be kept. There are also a TON of hybrids that would work for your area as well.

Paph lawrenceanum and Paph chamberlainianum
lawrenceanum is a mottle leaf and these tend to be easy to grow.
chamberlainianum is a sequential bloomer who can bloom for months. also easy to grow

If I could only choose one it would be lowii. I love the coloration and the slight twist of the petals. But if space and money are no object go for the gusto and get them all!!

Oh I wish I could but they'll sum up to a bomb for my wallet!

Added a poll so it'll be easier for me to see :P
