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. The parent plants are Paphiopedilum rothschildianum and Paphiopedilum philippinense.\u003cbr\u003ePaphiopedilum rothschildianum has a natural distribution in Borneo, Sabah according to Kew and grows in a wet tropical climate.\u003cbr\u003ePaphiopedilum philippinense is found from northern Borneo to the Philippines, according to Kew, and also belongs to a wet tropical climate.\u003cbr\u003eThe combination explains why Saint Swithin in culture often responds most predictably to bright, filtered light and an evenly moist substrate, without prolonged wetness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe plant forms a growth form with longer, green leaves and builds up several growing points over the years. 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.

Paphiopedilums do not have pseudobulbs to cope with prolonged drought, so complete dehydration is usually counterproductive.\u003cbr\u003ePreferably use demineralized water or rainwater, and flush liberally from time to time to limit salt build-up.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eFlowering\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe flowering period varies with growth stage and conditions, but a spring to fall season is often seen at Saint Swithin.
