where did you find them? as for myself, everytime i found a paphio i'll buy it because it is such a rare find i my area (but depends on the price as well
). both my barbatum and maudiae were bought when they're not flowering. but they're at a decent flowering size for RM20 each at my neighbourhood pasar malam. there's no tag or ID on the pot so it is my luck to get a maudiae since the leaves are similar to barbatum and i thought i'm buying anther barbatum . i have 4 pots of barbatum but the gene pool in Malaysia is so diverse and all 4 pos produce flowers with different purple and green intensity!
