Paphiopedilum liemianum

This is the second flower on a new flower spike produced by this plant.  The plant is grown exposed to sun and rain, in moderate shade under my Phalaenopsis plants.  The flower is most beautiful on the first few days when the petals are still quite straight.  They will curve back a little in a couple of days.

This is the flower yesterday morning:

This is the flower this morning:
It is fully open and the petal has a slight twist.
