Patience Luis - the sun is shining and we should be out in the garden! :)

I love your yellow paphiopedilum, it's a very clear daffodil yellow.  And lovely mottled leaves too...

A very lovely Paph. indeed - I could not keep mine alive for very long, and it is just too expensive to replace   :(

I did manage to flower P. "Ho Chi Minh" last year from very small "flasked" seedlings, however, and was amazed at how beautiful the flowers can be:

Rogan, Your Paph Ho Chi Minh is superb.
Here are just some images of mine to show the hairiness of the flower and the beauty of the foliage.
