Need a "straight on" picture Jean after it matures more. At this point, I would say "Maudiae Like". I have a problem with the petals. The warts are too uniform in size and spacing and too many of them.

I agree with you Rick, the petals aren't curved enough and the distinct warts are (nearly) missing. Have a look at http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphprimaries/index.html#sigmatopetalum and you will see some typical P. Maudiae blooms. There has been so many breeding within this 'Maudiae like complex' that finding the exact cross is almost impossible.
Nevertheless a flower Jean to fall in love with. :drool:

Very nice Paph. The green and white "Maudia-types" are always lookers!

Jean: Unfortunately with this type of breeding, if the plant loses it's tag, the BEST that you can ever do is call it "Maudiae-type". So many hybrids look similar that it is impossible to guarantee an accurate identification once the label has been lost. If this plant had no label, then, it will forever be a "Maudiae-type" noid.

Jean,
I posted a Maudiae a couple of months ago:

As you can see large warts, in low numbers on the top edge of the petals. There are a few on the lower half of the petals. Stiff, long hairs isolated mainly to the upper warts. Hope this helps.
