Two very similar Paphs

The flowers of Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum and Pahiopedilum liemianum are very similar.  The plants are however quite distinct.  The underside of the leaves of Paph liemianum is full of purple spots whereas those of Paph glaucophyllum have none at all.

These two plants happen to be flowering now so it is a good opportunity to show the comparison between them.
