This is Paph Sheila Hanes x Kay Rinaman x Lacewing. Second flowering. Begins as completely green then turns eventually yellow. I have two more of the same batch coming up in flower. One bump on the pouch which wasn't there last flowering.
Looks like the villosum (somewhere in the background) is coming through. I guess both lineages have some villosum somewhere...
Shiva, its a good looking flower and a plant I would want to have in my collection but I suspect you have lucked-out in the genetic lottery. I suspect some where out there is an almost perfectly round and flat big flower of this cross.
That is an exceptionally graceful symmetrical flower. I like it much better than the supposedly perfect flat round types. Is it (Sheila Hanes x Kay Rinaman) x Lacewing or Sheila Hanes x (Kay Rinaman x Lacewing)?
I should have checked my database before posting. Here's the right answer.
[(Sheila Hanes x Kay Rinaman) x Lacewing)]
Sorry for the mix-up.
