Paphiopedilum praestans

This is one of a few Paphs that can be grown relatively easily in Singapore.  The plant will bloom when it reaches maturity and has about two growths.  A few cool nights helps to encourage the plant to initiate flowering.

The flower spike appeared a couple of weeks ago and i almost missed it.  Didn't notice it until it was a few inches above the plant.  The flower is fully opened now and looking all fresh and glossy.
