Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum is a terrestrial and lithophytic orchid native to the limestone cliffs and forested mountain regions of Northeast India, Southern China, and Southeast Asia. True to its name (hirsutissimum translates to "most hairy"), this species is instantly recognizable by the dense, dark purple hairs covering its flower stem, buds, and the back of its petals. [1, 2, 3, 4]
It produces a single, long-lasting blossom on an upright stalk. The flower features a pale green dorsal sepal and distinctive horizontal petals that twist slightly toward the tips, showing off bright pink to violet coloration. Large plant for sale.
