Here’s a mature Agave atrovirens, taken at the Huntington Library and Botanic Garden. It’s huge!

The word "Paphiopedilum" derives from the Greek paphos, meaning "Venus," and pedilon, "sandal."

Stunner!

Yeah!

Thanks for sharing the knowledge! Orchids (and their nomenclature) are still very new to me. I’m heading to a local orchid show this weekend, really looking forward to connecting with some orchid-heads and joining the local society. Thanks again 🙏🏼

Thanks for this! It was labeled Paphiopedilum robinianum, but I didn’t think that was correct based on the overall color and shape of the sepals. I’ve been on the fence between P. gratrixianum and P. insigne as potential IDs.
