Paphiopedilum Maudiae alba with Milky Way Planter
Will the real Paphiopedilum Maudie please stand up! The Paphiopedilum Maudie varieties were created in the 19th century by crossing P. callosum with P. lawrenceanum. This was first done with the alba (white) forms of both parents which resulted in a flower with a beautiful white dorsal sepal (the top part of the flower) with green pinstripes and an apple green, pouch shaped labellum (the slipper bit). Hence the Paph. Maudiae alba was born! The leaves are also striking with light green mottling on a dark green background.
The genus Paphiopedilum, commonly referred to as Slipper Orchids are found throughout Asia. In the wild they grow in leaf litter and moss in well drained positions amongst rocks. As understory Orchids they require a lot less light than most other orchid varieties. The Maudiae Paphs are particularly easy going and more importantly easy to flower indoors.
About the pot

The bottom of the coaster has been sanded smooth to ensure it won't scratch your furniture.
Pot Dimensions:Â 9cm tall x 9cm wide (about the size of a coffee mug)
A bit about the ceramicist
This piece was made by the amazingly talented Jenn Johnstone of Jenn Johnstone Ceramics.
