Holy crap!!! Thats bad ass!!! If someone paid 400.00 excellent for the seller

If it were 'Ping Tong' itself, it is a very good price for the buyer. But it is a self cross plant from ' Ping Tong'.

If I use US$400 to buy a Paph, I would prefer a stonei alba big seeding or a rothschildianum with very promising quality.

It's a great sanderianum!!! I guess 400.00 is pretty good, I've seen a zephyrus sandy go for alot more that was not as good, stonei albas are very nice as well

Absolute bargain. Twice the price, easily, in Oz.

Love those petals!

Looks like a hybrid to me but I'm not sure why.

Looks like a hybrid to me but I'm not sure why.

Maybe because it's so big and chunky? I had an inkling of the same thought but I'm not sure why.

Either way it's GORGEOUS! Lovely flower. :clap:

Looks like a hybrid to me but I'm not sure why.

Seriously? The width on the dorsal is what impresses me.

 

[phraggy]

Very impressive -- and a plant is worth what you can afford -to you anyhow!!

Someone was lucky!!

 

[NYEric]

I was also thinking it's a hybrid. It's very chunky. Did you buy it?

 

[gonewild]

What hybrids have petals that long?

 

[emydura]

It looks like sanderianum to my eyes.

 

[SlipperMatt]

Ok. Tomorrow will closeup photo come. But a little note for sceptics. Can anyone show me a hybrid that looks like exactly a sanderianum except Michael Koopowitz? MK has more reddish pouch and petals due to philippinense. Unfortunately not mine.

I believe it is true sanderianum
