Paphiopedilum dianthum
We have had this specimen since 2006 and it is one of my favorite orchids due to its wild appearance. A native of the semi-deciduous forest of Southwestern China and Northern Vietnam, this orchid requires careful but almost daily watering (See post on February 23, 2014).

I have been chronicling the different stages of flower development from my previous posts in 2014 and 2015. In this post, I only managed to keep track in June and in August.

An interesting observation, this orchid flowers the same time each year, late June through mid August. Here's to a good year and until next time for our Paphiopedilum dianthum! We conclude with a photo from last year.
