Paph. niveum

[NEslipper]

A reliable bloomer originally from James Fang at HOF, the cross is 'Smile of Goddess' x 'Witchen'. Three flowers open, with 3 more buds on the way. The flower quality is not as good as with previous bloomings, but I have been traveling a lot this summer and I think some lapses in culture can explain that. Regardless, it is still going to put on a good show, despite the grower! Some threads with photos of last year's bloomings are HERE and HERE. I apologize for the quality of this years photos, I was really struggling this morning, I think the pictures with the distracting background show the plant more accurately than the black background.

You said that the flower quality was not as nice in this blooming. Gee wiz, NEslipper, I kinda like it!! Flowers are very nicely displayed. I think that the form is pretty good, dorsal sits a little low perhaps but they rarely present a tall upright dorsal. It is a niveum being a niveum.
Faint spotting is very nice. I like it! And it’s floriferous. Keep it!!!

Well grown and flowered. I would be really happy with this flowering.

Update with all 5 flowers open. Unfortunately, the 6th bud failed to develop fully. I blame the grower, but maybe next time it will have six!

Here's some pictures with a different background that show the colors a little more faithfully than the black.

I've had this since 2019, and have yet to repot it. It has been doing so well, I didn't want to disturb it. However, a repot is going to have to happen soon, since it's bursting out of the pot!
