Description
Complex Paphs are the result of multiple-generation breeding that began in the 1800s in England. These tropical lady slipper orchids are bred for size, color, and shape. They are the largest and longest-lasting of the Paphiopedilums, holding flowers for 2-3 months. These plants need water to sustain the large flowers, so be sure to keep it moist at the root system. Watering twice a week is best while flowering.

Standard complex hybrids are usually a combination of red, mahogany, purple, bronze, and white. The flowers are very thick and waxy often having a lacquered look to them. The red hybrids can be either a smooth red, a brushed red, or have some red-suffused spotting. The complex spotted hybrids can vary in spotting patterns and overall colors from dark brown to a lighter bronze color for the petals and lip. We can't know exactly how these will turn out as they are first-bloom plants. The colors can vary and the spotting can vary. These do have amazing substance though and will last at least two months while in flower. These can take up to 10 years of growing before they reach their first flowering.

Our current batch 11/13 is made up of premium-sized plants that will begin to open within 1-2 weeks.
