Paph hookerae var volonteanum
Narrow mottled leaves with red undersides and long stalk !
Just bought two myself ... got greedy and noticed different leaf colorations on plants from different vendors.
Good luck and please, please ... post flower when open !
Cheers,
Tim

Craig, mine don't have as much red under the leaves as Rick's plant. I also picked up a cheap plant labelled as volonteanum at Peterborough last year that has no red pigmentation on the leaves at all ... and the leaf mottling is very indistinct to the extent that until it flowers I'm not convinced it is volonteanum at all. Maybe I'll post some foliage photos later.
Cheers,
Tim
Interesting regarding the variable pigmentation. I grow mine under lights with the rest of my plants. Maybe I'm giving it too much light. However, now that it's about to be in bloom I think I'll keep it this way for now. Maybe a day or two yet before it's fully open. I really like what it is showing so far.
