My only paph and a survivor of many years standing......
No fma. sanderae has dots on the dorsal, the pure albino form is Paph. insigne fma. sanderianum.Very interesting that it has spots. I thought that the Sanderae color form only had green/yellow coloration?
Hamiltons, you may be on the right track. When I wrote my post #4 on last monday I was only focussed on the lovely flowers. After I read your post I looked at the leaves of my Paph. insigne and paph. insigne fma. sanderianum and yes, they are more narrow than that of David's plant. At any rate their are a lot hybrids out there which flowers look like a dead ringer for true species.Hello...Its a very nice paph, but I am not sure its insigne "sanderae" it looks more likely that it could be a hybrid with it...The insigne sanderae has more narrow leaves and longer and flower has not this big broad dorsal.......
Yes for certain its very beautyful and looks like a big sanderaeHamilton, you may be on the right track. When I wrote my post #4 on last monday I was only focussed on the lovely flowers.

I think the latter, perceptive commentators might be in the right concerning the possible hybridic nature of David's Paph. I myself didn't notice the first time round - Kudos to you eagle eyed out there!Very interesting that it has spots. I thought that the Sanderae color form only had green/yellow coloration?
