This plant joined my collection on the 30th of april. I bought it as an unkown plant but it was a sizeable plant, a bud was forming and the price was right. But as it turned out it was a bit of a problem child as some of you have seen in this topic:

The bud that was forming blasted in a week or so after moving it from the nursery were I bought it to my own home. Luckily for me I spotted two new sheaths being formed in other growths.

The 2nd flower dind't developed the way it should but the photo's I showed were enough for forum user fibre to ID it as Paph. Rosettii ( Maudiae x insigne )

Luckily for me the 3rd flower developed it as it should and it even surprised me with a strange trait:

And this photo clearly showes the trait I was referring to earlier, the pouch has a small horn in the centre of it. Also the edges of the pouch close to the stami rise up in sharp pointy edges:
