Now Blooming - Paphiopedilum philippinense

Another exciting Paphiopedilum or slipper orchid in our collection is now blooming.
This one is called Paphiopedilum philippinense.
Found in Northern Borneo (Sabah) and as the name indicated, the Philippines.
This species orchid is an orchid collectors' dream.
The flower is very impressive as you can see here.
However, it is not easy to see this species flowering.
It's once in many many blue moons. I guess when the weather is right.
Most of the time we see lots of green shiny leaves...hehe...
