Cold-weather shipping
We only ship live plants when temperatures are 40°F or above. Below 50°F we include a free 72-hour heat pack and ship to arrive within 1–3 days; addresses that need more than 3 days in transit require an expedited upgrade. In the coldest months plant shipments may pause until it warms up.

Product Details
Paphiopedilum Memnon (Paph. charlesworthii × Paph. spicerianum) is a historic primary hybrid first registered by Veitch in 1900, remade here with an alba charlesworthii. Expect a broad, rounded dorsal and a large flower relative to the compact plant and pot.
Both parents grow on limestone in the monsoon forests of northeast India, Myanmar and Bhutan, so this hybrid prefers intermediate temperatures (55–85°F), moderate light and evenly moist bark with calcium. Hybridized by our licensed partner nursery in Hawaii and finished in our Florida greenhouse, so it arrives acclimated to warm climates.
Blooming size — photos are representative of the plant size and maturity available. Plants are in 2" pots and ready to move up to 4".
