Paphiopedilum lowii

This is a species of  Paph found from Malaysia, Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi and Borneo.  It is warm to hot growing so it can be successfully grown in Singapore.  I bought this plant from Woon Leng nursery about 2 years ago as a mature plant.  It finally began flowering a few weeks ago and today, the first flower is fully open.  It resembles its close relative Paphiopedilum haynaldianum from the Philippines.  Major differences include the shorter hairs on the flower stalk and the lack of spots on the dorsal sepal.
