Hi all. Thanks for the many replys off line and online in regards to the colour of paphiopedilum. being a lime greenish/Golden yellow in Colour. Seems as if many grower's have had different varriation of light to pale green to yellow.
As one said, take a look at the range of colour avaible in paphiopedilum micranthum/ Looking throught the latest books on Paphiopedilums I came accross several photo's of Paphiopedilum malipoense. All of different shade of lime green to palest whiteish green. Very interesting, would love to a group photograph of them. Do judges read the latest book released on new varietes of orchids, I fear not. Cheerio Ron Interesting question on the effect of bright light on the >matureing colour of Paphiopedilum malipoense. Recently at a show I had my malipoense questioned on it >being a species or hybred bred plant by the one of two judges judgeing. (he >would not judge it).
