Dear all...

I'm Jonathan from malaysia and have just venture into the orchid world wishing to learn from all the expert in this forum...

I have just started to collect orchid during this two weeks but i'm now only interested in two species (phal & phap)

Thanks in advance for everyone who share their knowledge and to those who share their tough...

Now to the main question...

I have bough an Paphiopedilum praestans from our local nursery here in malaysia and i'm hoping that you all would help me id it as is it a real Paphiopedilum praestans???

Because i have read lot's of report saying that Paphiopedilum praestans are not real paphiopedilum praestans lot's of "fake" ones in the market...

Looks legit to my untrained eyes... But what I'd really want to know, is what is a "fake" Paph. praestans? Is it secretly a hybrid?

Because i have read from lot's of website saying that most of the Paphiopedilum praestans out there are mostly other species/hybrids... not the actual species of Paphiopedilum praestans...

Thanks for the response

Regards
Jonathan
