“青出于蓝, 更胜于蓝” describes an emergence of quality and excellence following a journey of transformation. This is also perhaps why one of reasons why I am inclined towards the appreciation and growth of many paph hybrids though some purists may be insistent that paphiopedilums remain true to their species origin. There is no clear definition to which is more superior – species or hybrids, in my humble opinion. However I find growing hybrids highly encouraging. Hybrids come across as an enhanced version of their parent species as they are cultivated to be more resilient to various terrestrial and climatic conditions which make them an essential for both beginners’ and experts’ collection of paphiopedilums.
