Paphiopedilum St. Swithin

Paphiopedilum St. Swithin is a spectacular primary hybrid obtained by crossing Paphiopedilum philippinense × Paphiopedilum rothschildianum. This remarkable combination brings together two of the most admired multifloral Paphiopedilum species, producing impressive flowers with elegant shapes and distinctive markings.

Its blooms feature beautifully striped dorsal sepals in shades of cream and green, complemented by long, gracefully twisted petals decorated with contrasting dark markings. The characteristic pouch-shaped lip completes the exotic appearance of the flowers.

One of the most remarkable characteristics of Paphiopedilum St. Swithin is its ability to produce several flowers simultaneously on a single inflorescence, creating a spectacular and long-lasting floral display.

This hybrid prefers intermediate to warm temperatures, bright, filtered light, moderate to high humidity, and good air circulation. Regular watering is recommended, keeping the well-draining growing medium lightly moist without allowing prolonged water stagnation.

With its impressive multi-flowered inflorescences, extraordinarily long petals, and prestigious botanical parentage, Paphiopedilum St. Swithin is an exceptional addition to any collection of slipper orchids.
