The scented slipper orchid is rare, Paph. hangianum has pleasant fragrance that is attractive. It is very common in cultivation now. The growth of the plant is quite slow, it may take many years to develop the young plant into a blooming size.

It should be the cutest species within Phragmipedium family. The plant and flower size is much smaller than others. It blooms at my planting area routinely, easy to grow and flower.

Very cute and miniature Paph. species, the bloom's outlook is unique among Paphiopedilum family. This plant is native to east Himalaya to Assam, India and grows on dolomite limestone cliffs. It requires a cool and dry season to encourage the bloom.

Paph. venustum

Paphiopedilum venustum blooms in the spring with single or two flowers. Found in Assam, Darjeeling, and Sikkim states of India, usually habitate in the jungle on mossy trees, muddy river banks, and cliffs at elevations about 300 ~ 1500 meters. The area is subjected to heavy rains during the summer and fall, high humidity in the spring and moderate amounts of rain in the winter. It is the first Paphiopedilum species identified by European explorers.

The interesting Paph. spicerianum is very easy to grow under warm to cool growing conditions. The bloom lasts for more than a month. I got this plant from a friend a few years ago, this is one of my favorite Paph. species.

Paph. dayanum

I bought this stylish Paph. from my friend when he brought some Paph. species from Sabah (Malaysia). He said that it may be lawrenceanum or javanicum, but finally it bloomed as Paph. dayanum. I don't think this species is eye-catching but it does show the unique character which is second to none within the genus Paphiopedilum.

Paph. violascens is not that popular in cultivation, found in New Guinea as a terrestrial that requires warm environment. I prefer its color combination which make this species look purely colorful.
