I recently posted photos of Paphiopedilum venustum var. album and have posted before photos of the normal variety. Here are the two of them together for comparison. It is obvious that the album lacks any of the red or purple coloring of the normal variety. The plants and flowers are very similar in size, but the leaves of the album variety also lack any red or purple coloring. The species if from Bangladesh, India and Nepal.

Paphiopedilum venustum album
I don't have many Paphiopedilums, but they are all in bloom or coming into bloom including this first bloom seedling of Paphiopedilum venustum var. album. I've included a picture of the normal variety for comparison, and it is obvious that this variety has not of the purple and red coloration of the other variety. It is a small plant with beautifully mottled foliage, though the foliage has none of the purple coloration either, and it is from Bangladesh, India and Nepal.
