I was waiting for the last, 6th flower to open but I got impatient and worried the first flower would fall off first. I got this back in 2016, its been growing happily but hasn't flowered since purchase. This year I stuck it outside for a week, not sure if that did the trick or if it was ready anyways.

I checked with the grower I got it from several years ago and we both agree it is likely Paph. Bel Royal (kolopakingii x rothschildianum), if anyone has a second opinion please share!
My staking needs practice. Right away the flower stem took a nose dive to the earth:
