I've tried growing Paph druryi 3 times. All have croaked except this one. Granted its a small flower - about 6-cm horizontal spread- but I'm very happy I've finally succeeded.

I changed its place in the GH - close to the airflow from the swamp cooler but not exactly in it. Brighter light, standing in water (deli lid) and repotted (orchiata). Of those probably the increased light and the lid of water are what allowed it to bloom under my personal limitations. Or the repotting... probably the repotting rather than the deli lid. I saw the image of druryi growing in situ, hence the bright, sorta-cold conditions.
