Paphiopedilum dianthum
|
I have posted about our Paphiopedilum dianthum several times since 2014 and once again, this reliable orchid is in bloom this time of the year. Here are some links to previous posting; July 28, 2014, July 27, 2015 and August 7, 2016. We were very happy because we noticed this year, four buds appeared! But sadly, we lost one. On a positive note, we know this clone is capable of producing four. Hopefully next time, it will last and we may take it for judging! Wish us luck.

| A) I missed the earlier stages of the inflorescence developing but here, we can clearly see four buds emerging. |
 |
| B) Beautiful green buds. |
 |
| C) Love the 'wild' orchid look of this specimen. A native to Southwestern China and Northern Vietnam, where the forest is semi-deciduous, evergreen with mossy wet areas. |
 |
| D) Another view. These photos were taken in mid July and they are still flowering today. |
|
| E) Concluding with a close up of this 'spacey' looking flower. |
That's my orchid of the day. I have a few more coming up so, look forward to that.
