Paphiopedilum rothschildianum (Kinabalu Gold)

13.300 Ft

Paphiopedilum rothschildianum - a rare, impressive botanical species, notable for both the size of the plant and the size of its flowers.

The flowering stems reach a height of 80 cm and bear 2-6 large flowers (25-45 cm), which are fragrant.

Paphiopedilum rothschildianum is among the rarest orchids in the world, as it naturally grows only in the northern part of the island of Borneo, on one side of Mount Kinabalu – a rather limited area. In the past, the price of a plant could reach 5-6000 dollars, which is why it was popularly called "Gold of Kinabalu." Over time, the price has decreased, especially after mass propagation was achieved through tissue culture.
