Love this slipper orchid species, Paph wilhelminae. Blooming since November. A little like Paph. rothschildianum’s less popular kid brother. Smaller with only two flowers per spike, but just as striking! @orchidcommittee @EYOrchid @BritPaphSociety @BritishOrchidCo @AmericanOrchid

[British Paphiopedilum Society @BritPaphSociety]

@marktur83654300 Fabulous

🌸 Les orchidées du #JardinDuLuxembourg

👀 Aujourd'hui, zoom sur la "Paphiopedilum Mabel Sanders"

C'est une orchidée emblématique de la collection du Jardin, créée en 1919 par le jardinier Octave Opoix.

Le Jardin possède toujours les plantes d’origine, ce qui fait de ces orchidées les plus anciennes de la collection.

Un timbre représentant le sabot de Vénus "Mabel Sanders a d'ailleurs été édité en 2005.

🔙 La collection des serres du #JardinLuco rassemble aujourd'hui plus de 10 000 pots appartenant à 150 genres, soit plus de 1 350 cultivars, hybrides et espèces d’orchidées tropicales différentes.

The highlight of the orchid house right now - this majestic Paphiopedilum rothschildianum. The photo doesn't do the size justice. Each flower spans an enormous 32cm & the dorsal sepals are 6cm wide @orchidcommittee @BritPaphSociety @EYOrchid @AmericanOrchid @BritishOrchidCo
