Pictures and und informations from Sasha Kubicek:

The habitat was on the top of a ridge at about 800 meters where no big trees seemed to grow, just small shrub like trees. On one side of the hill there was pretty good light and on the other side of the hill there was way more shade. The paph loved either side of the hill with around 200 plants in total- a mix of specimen plants, single growth mature plants and all kinds of seedlings mixed in between. Plants on the sunnier side were stronger looking and this was the only side where plants got over 5 growths large. The air movement was incredible..
