Paph. delenatii

[Ruli]

I bought it (well, my daughter wanted it, so it's hers) in December from a german eBayer as
Paphiopedilum delenatii vinicolor 'Black' x self
About two months later we saw the tiny start of the flower stem
It's the first slipper which bloomed for us!:clap:

It does look dark. What do the leaf edges look like? Black edged?

Yes, the leaf edges are very dark, I think they're black.
