Paph parishii, dianthum, or a hybrid?

[montanum]

I received this as Paph Temptation (kolo x phil) but it’s pretty obviously not that… and that will be the last time I buy from a random eBay person.

Which do you think it is?

It’s a perfectly fine plant, I’m just not sure that I want it when I have limited space…

At any rate it isn't Paph. dianthum or a hybrid with it, also no true Paph. parishii. I would assume it to be a nice Paph. parishii hybrid.

Temptation x parishii, with the second parent lost from the tag, is a good and logical guess.

That would be a good guess, I just don’t see that Temptation x parishii is a registered hybrid.

Ok, thanks for your guess. I’ll contact the seller and ask if they had any parishii hybrids on hand at the time.

why not dianthum?

Whatever you want it to be...but it is just a Paph. dianthum....totally within the affinity--look of the plant, flowers---staminode and even blooming time... nothing more IMO.
