Paphiopedilum rothschildianum
Rothschild's slipper orchid or Gold of Kinabalu orchid
Orchidaceae (Orchid family)
Native to the rainforests around Mount Kinabalu in northern Borneo, Indonesia at elevations from 500 to 1200 meters above sea level.
IUCN: Critically Endangered
Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, USA (Cultivated)
**NOTE**
While I enjoy orchids, as an environmentally conscious orchid grower in Hawaiʻi, I am proactive when it comes to removing and properly destroying any and all seed pods from the plants so as not to encourage their spreading into our fragile native Hawaiian forests.
