Im not an expert on cochlios. Is that what you think it is?

There's been so much cross-breeding with these, it's hard to know for sure.

It's a lovely bloom and the little "come hither" petal gives
it some character.

It's beautiful; but, I do agree with Rick. It looks a LOT like a cross between the two species; or even a pure v-m.

'Got any photos of the foliage?

your wish.....................

Typically v-m is huge plant with an extremely long flower spike. It also has strong maroon at the base of each growth.

I just googled pics and there a is very strong chance v-m is what you have.

I can't say whether or not I think it's a pure v-m, or a cross with glaucophyllum. However, I'm really quite sure that it's not pure glaucophyllum. The foliage should look like it was covered with fine, grey/blue talc and the excess was blown off, just leaving behind a slight residue. The foliage on this plant doesn't look like any pure glaucophyllum I've seen. It's too clean and shiny. It doesn't have that "glaucous" coating.

glau·cous1
/ˈɡlôkəs/ adjective
1.of a dull grayish-green or blue color.
2.covered with a powdery bloom like that on grapes.

It's that thin covering on the leaves that gives Paph. glaucophyllum it's name. Plus, the flower has a VERY victoria-mariae "look".

My Glauco looks a bit more glaucous (not as green) than lose leaves but who knows?

I saw the title, then looked at the picture, then I thought wrong label.

could be wrong, but my guess is also v-m.
This flower just looks nothing like glauco.
