In most orchid shows in Puerto Rico, Paphiopedilum plants are few and almost always multifloral hybrids of rothschildianum or phillippinense. So it was a delight to find a hybrid of a parvisepalum paphiopedilum on display at the Mayaguez Orchid society show last September. Very few people locally cultivate armeniacum hybrids, so I was great to have the opportunity to photograph this plant. The flowers were large, showy and had a hard, almost leathery texture. In the top photo the top sepal was reflexed by the owner to show the line pattern, the flowers naturally look like the bottom photo.
