Paphio Barbartum

[fishoman]

This species is endermic to Peninsular Malaysia , it can be found in 800 feet a.s.l . It took me almost 8 months for this little beauty to bloom. And from the flower stalk to fully bloom , it takes almost one month.

Wow , your eyes are sharp!
On the left of the background is Dossinia Mamorata and behind the slipper are jewels from Taiwan.
And below the slipper, which you cant see from the pictures, are all jewel orchids

Nice.. The bud on mine blasted.. Darn.. Harris, your first one looks like callosum because of the bigger dorsal and the pointy leaf tips. I may be wrong though.. hehe. The habitats of barbatum and callosum var. sublaeve do overlap so there may be some interbreeding between both..
