One Paph not seen much these days and I wonder why. Its outstanding for size and flower spike length and flower size.
Paph Shillianum = Gowerianum x roth' from 1899.

Oh, the photo is not looking that old!!?? :rollhappy:

No, serious, what is the flower size? (since I have seen a roth. with over 30 cm petal span last week, I am 'bitten')

No records kept on ths but from memory it was around 6 - 7 inches ( 150-180mm ) It was huge. Spike was about 2 foot +/-.
