Penang, Malaysia..d home of fabulous paphs.
My 3 latest paphs. Hehehe.. :D I think they might be misidentified, so I haven't got a clue what they might be. Care to help me out? ;)
Paph No.1:
Bought as a 'Maudiae album type hybrid', but I don't think that's what it is. It doesn't exhibit the usual checkerboard pattern mottling of Maudiae and lawrenceanum. Has 1 large and 1 small growth..

Paph No.2:
Recent exchange for a standard cattleya which bloomed out the wrong colour. Labelled as concolor and certainly looks like it (might be wenshanense/bellatulum too). What do you think?

Paph No.3:
Supposed to be a reddish brown bellatulum. Well, if it really is what the vendor claims to be, its gotta be the best looking bellatulum I've ever come across. :) (Bellatulums don't normally establish and grow well in our tropical climate..)

The first may have some curtisii in it. The second will be one of the three you mentioned!! And I want to see this red bell too!
 
I believe when vendors talk about a reddish-brown bellatulum they are talking about the color of the spots, not the background. The background should always be white or off white towards ivory-cream-yellow. Some bellatulum have very purple colored spots. Some the spotting is more toward the red.
 
Nice aquisitions!!!! The first one has great leaf colour pattern!!!! I would only guess if flowered.... I agree with Eric about the ID...:D
