Orchid of the day: Paphiopedilum dianthum


Paphiopedilum dianthum


This orchid is definitely growing well in our hands. The last time it flowered was January 25th (see post in January of 2015). Now it flowered again with three flowers. I have a few orchids to feature in the next coming weeks but for now but let me share the photos from our Paphiopedilum dianthum.



A) July 5th, three flower buds were already developing.


B) The buds up close.

C) July 19th, one bud is still waiting to open up.


D) Another close up of the flower. This beautiful slipper orchid with the spiraling petals.


E) July 26th. All three flowers are in full bloom


F) The entire plant from the front

G) The flowers from the back
