The hybrid combines the imposing, striped flower form of the polyantha group with an inflorescence that can bear multiple flowers at once when mature. The growth type with longer, strap-shaped leaves allows the plant to develop into a distinct, sturdy tussock over time, with stability in light, moisture and temperature making all the difference.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis cross does not occur in the wild and is registered as a hybrid.

In mature specimens, a sturdy flowering stem appears that can usually bear multiple flowers, with the flower segments often being distinctly striped and the blooms having a distinct polyantha appearance. Because Saint Swithin is usually offered from seedlings, there may be variation in color intensity, markings and flower position, while the general character of a large-flowered, multifloral Paphiopedilum remains recognizable.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eLight\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBright, indirect light or partial shade fits best.
