Paphiopedilum Part II - my other collection of this unique species.

paph niveum
 
This species is easily confused with paph leucochilum. The later has no spots in the white pouch while niveum does have minute purple white spots around the pouch. Now in October, it is blossoming again, seems like twice per year if conditions are optimal.
Nb the flower bud forming at the centre.lets see when it is in full bloom.
 
 
 
Full bloom in Oct
 
The below is my paph leucochilum. It is easily confused with paph godefroyae and paph niveum.
 
paph leucochilum
 
See below for the difference between the few very similar looking paph.
 
paph. godefroyae (minute spots on pouch)

paph concolor (yellow colour; will be looking out for this to add to my collection)
