Paphiopeilum Maudiae-type Hybrid



This beautiful Paph Maudiae-type hybrid is a vinicolor, a Maudiae with a very dark red or maroon flower with very little lighter coloration. This is one of the better strains for a "black" flower, Paph Ruby Peacock x Hampshire Raven. Maudiae-types are very easy to grow, really no more difficult than a Phalaenopsis; they need indirect light and should never dry out. Be careful though not to overwater!
