What does the label say?
Hmm, don't know if I'd agree. Would all Veitnam Beautys have that same color in the stam? The shape & spotting on the stam is the same, but no green color on Sangii's.I looks to me as Paph. Wossner Vietnam Beauty (Paph. vietnamense x belatulum) because of the staminode. Here is a link to Orchid Limited http://www.orchidweb.com/detail.aspx?ID=2068

yep ! actually I am SURE 100% that hangianum is one of the parents (that I remember from the label), it is bellatulum I am not 100% sure. I have a hangianum x leucochilum cross also and was wondering if this could be this one ( lost the label as well on hang x leucho )
( lost the label as well on hang x leucho )
I agree that this is a hangianum hybrid. As to the other parent -
1.) bellatulum hybrids ALWAYS have short flower stems, usually floppy or weak. Most hybrids will be closer to the typical bellatulum for flower stem length than to the other parent, perhaps this and the degree to which the stem is floppy will give you a clue.
2.) leucophyllum has medium length flower stems, usually strong enough to hold the flower up. If your flower stem is as tall as a typical leucochilum, and strong enough to hold the flower up - then leucochilum is more likely.
3.) Dot & Ernie's comments should be considered also. (webbing & spotting)
4.)Conco-bell or wenshanense would be intermediate, with possibly a slightly more pronounced yellow or ivory tint background.
