This orchid is a close relative of P. cornu-cervi and P. lamelligera. While many other plants of P. pantherina has a more slender shape with denser patches of color, this particular plant's shape and color is very close to one of my P. lamelligera. However the flower of this pantherina is more than twice the size of the lamelligera. This one is slightly more than 2 inches from top to bottom.
Growing Paphiopedilums or Paphs is my main hobby. I also grow many other orchids such as phalaenopsis, dendrobium, coelogyne etc.

Phalaenopsis lamelligera
Two different plants of Phal. lamelligera are flowering recently. Very slide difference in the patterns because they originally came from the same plant which I bought many years ago from Mr. Lim Song in Penang.
Coelogyne paltastes
This plant of Coelogyne paltastes is flowering now with its beautiful green flowers. This orchid can be found in Sabah as well as Sarawak.

Phalaenopsis violacea
Dendrobium anosmum
Fruit flies are attracted to the intense scent of the flowers. The recent rainy spell might have triggered the flowering.

Paphiopedilum concolor
This concolor flowered a couple of days ago. It's one of those with a line down the middle of the petals. I believe this variety is called concolor var. straiatum.
