No ID hybrid

[eds]

This just arrived today in flower from Spicesotic plants via eBay. I haven't got a 'plain' one like this amongst my current paphs so snapped it up. I prefer my paphs to be this shape rather than the completely round hybrids - I think they look too much like my Phals! It's a bit uneven as the flower stem is short and one side of the flower is sitting on a leaf.



Once the flower goes I'll be repotting out of the CHC!

This has flowered again today. Two spikes this time.

When I reported this I put in one of the 10cm meshpots that have been discussed on here.
Mesh pots, net pots and baskets

It certainly seems happy but who knows if it wouldn't like a more traditional pot more!

This had an off year last year (the plant went downhill and reduced in size) but has broken into flower again this year after moving it into semihydro.

I think it is its best flowering so far.

Now hopefully to bulk it up and get multiple flowers again.

Whatever it is it is pretty cute.

With that pouch's shape & color , I would venture to guess that it could have a helenae in the blood line via paph In-charm Gold (depending on how big the flower & the leaves are? if they are small)

I can certainly see the similarity and think you could well be right!

The flower has a natural spread of 97mm. The pouch is 45mm from top to bottom.

I certainly think it is a complex x complex paph but that is purely a guess on the source and lack of name - I imagine it came from some big plant wholesaler in Netherlands.
