Paphiopedilum Western Sky x helenae


Just got them from Song Orchids.

Paph. Western Sky is a complex hybrid with insigne, charlesworthii, Leeanum, spicerianum etc in its parentage. Very messy to trace. Paph. helenae is a cute little orange coloured paph from northern Vietnam that requires cooler conditions than spicerianum. Hopefully having such a complex parentage would result in the plant being more tolerant to warmer conditions. One of the plant i selected is greenish with a purple line in the middle of the petals and sepals whereas the other is the usual form.
