Well, here are two more blooms from the same batch from Malaysia. Actually, the plants came from Sumatra, originally... the divisions came from Malaysia. Anyway, I think that these are Paph liemianum, too (they were sold to me as chamberlainianum).
If any of you disagree on the taxonomy, please let me know. In fact, if you agree agree that they are liemianum, also let me know... I'm always interested to hear the grounds for distinction for these sorts of things.
Anyway, here is one bloom:
If the pattern on the dorsal sepal were a lot darker on this one, I might consider calling it chamberlainianum instead.
and here is the bloom on another plant...
Whatever they are, I'm pretty happy with them. While in WA, I also got a new chamberlainianum and some primulinum purpurescens, so I'll have some better comparitive specimens soon.

EDIT: I'm just sticking in the photo of the first of these to bloom, for comparison. It looks a lot more like liemianum to me than these others (except for the size).
