Paphiopedilum venustum

Description

2” pot. Compact Himalayan slipper orchid species blooms in spring with single flowers. The dorsal is green striped, petals are green with plenty of purple coloring and near-black spots. The pouch is purple with a pronounced “veining” pattern that gives it an unusual look. Most of the plants you will see for sale are the alba (all green) variety, but these should be the pigmented form. Young seedlings.
