Penang, Malaysia..d home of fabulous paphs.
(Glaucophyllum x niveum). Honestly, I do not know whether the pod parent in this cross is really glauco or niveum. Got this last year, has bloomed twice for me. Easy to grow and carried up to 3 flowers sequentially on the same spike. My plant is not as impressive as fibre's.. :eek:

This is what it looked like on its 1st blooming:

Very nice flower and a nice improvement. I will become a specimen over the years!
 
They don't even look like they're from the same plant. The flower in the upper photo is much nicer than the one from the first blooming. Definitely a keeper! We'll done!

That's why they say never judge a paph from its first blooming :p I am a firm believer in this and never throw out any plants unless they really are not growing properly.

beauty! I have this but it is a shy bloomer despite 6 growths!

You might want to try high light and limestone addition.
