Paph primulinum purpurascens

I got this species fr recent trip to Taipei..what struck me abt this sp is the very small but colourful flower..plus u can get 2 or more flowers on 1 spike..and when one flower withers, another will appear. Lets hope this can do well in Singapore climate
The more greenish dorsal




The other with more brownish dorsal



Apparently the original is fr paph primulinum, found only in certain part of Sumatra, Indonesia and currently under critically endangered list

I remembered i bought a similar variety fr this species in 2014.
