Paphiopedilum (Claire de Lune x philippinense var. alba)


This is an absolutely fantastic plant. It is the only multifloral paph I have, and it looks a lot like philippinense (the original form) but with shorter petals and mottled leaves. The flowers are huge. The best part is, because it has Maudiae in its parentage it not only gets the mottled leaves but it is easier to grow than the philippinense parent. One of the best first multifloral paphs, in my opinion.
