Description
Paphiopedilum Karl Ploberger is a primary hybrid of (bellatulum x hangianum). The result is a large flower thanks to the hangianum parent with plenty of burgundy/red spots and stippling from the bellatulum parent. The flowers are quite striking in person. The photo is one of the first to bloom from this grex..I neglected to get a good photo before we packed it up and sold it at a show. It was a very impressive flower, especially for a first bloom seedling.
These are easy to grow. Just don’t let them sit with ‘wet feet’, especially in the winter.
