[dave b]

This one had no id when i got it.
Paph glaucophyllum. What do you think?

 

[SlipperFan]

Probably. And a nice dark one, at that.

I love it whatever it is...

From the pix, looks like the leaves are possibly too shiny and green to be straight glaucophyllum. Glauco has blueish gray green, chalky-looking leaves. Also, the flowers of most glaucos don't have the white dorsal halo, but that is disputable. A closeup of the tops, bottoms, and bases of the leaves would help. I'm guessing it's a hybrid (of all Cochlopetalum parents of course).

What does the base of the plant look like? is there any maroon bluishing to the very bottom of the plant?

Glauco has blueish gray green, chalky-looking leaves.

Huh. Glauco + phyllum, of course it has glaucous leaves. Don't know why I never made that connection before.

Thanks Ernie!

Appreciate the tips. Havent taken any new photosyet , but the leaves are chalky, and a bit blueish green. There is blushing at the base also.
