Paphiopedilum venustum and venustum album

For a change of pace I decided to post some of my orchids. This orchid species is from the Himalayas and is sometimes referred to as the "Brain Pouch Slipper Orchid." It has beautiful mottled foliage, a rather rare feature in orchids. I've posted two different varieties, the one without any of the darker coloring, an "albino," and the other the normal form.
