Paphiopedilum micranthum Tang & Wang 1951 SUBGENUS Parvisepalum
 

Plant was bought at the end of January from Valenzino, already with little blossom sprouting. So I just take credit only for letting live and grow the stem :)
Flower has a delicate smell, sweet smell, but only if you put the nose very very close.

PS sorry for double posting, I just saw it now. Can I delete the double orsome admin could do it for me, please?

Awesome!

Very nice.

Lovely! This is a great species. Can you show us the foliage, too, please?

Of course!

Here they are: ruler is 30 cm (11.8 in).1 inch = 2.5 cm
They are taken in 3 p.m. sun. I also attach one pic taken with electrical light when it arrived home on middle January.

Thank you Rosie!

Very cool little flower and plant.

I am glad you made different angle shots of the bloom. It gave us perspective. I love the color and the form.
The leaves are a beauty by itself even without a flower.

Thank you Bud. Yes sometimes I find some pic of flowers and cannot imagine a "3D pic" in my mind, so when I can, I try to give a 360° views. I've got some pics with measures of the flowers if you want.

Lovely, really pretty.
