Both flowers open now. Huge flowers but I wish they opened some more. They would have been truly humongous. I will try and stake next time it blooms.
it is growing in pure moss. Goes against the idea that brachies need to be grown drier than other paphs. I rescued it from root rot by putting it in moss a few years ago and have never repotted since. Now it’s just a solid ball of roots that needs to be watered every single day...
Oh and there's a noticeable scent of crushed peppers! Not pleasant!

Here are some pics of the first flower. A bit less open than the second:
