Paph. wardii
Paph. wardii was discovered in 1922 in Myanmar by the British army captain Frank Kingdon Ward. In addition to the unique
but variable flowers, the leaves of Paph. wardii have a striking "snakeskin" pattern, which surely ranks among the most
distinctive and beautiful within the entire genus. It is an easy grower under standard mottled-leaf paph conditions, and
can flower several times a year.
