I was surprised to see this bloom so well; last time, 2 inflorescences. This year, 9 flowers and one opening bud on five inflorescences plus two more inflorescences coming on a 9-growth plant (the only two growths not blooming are the two that bloomed last time - even the juvenile growths are blooming!). Apparently this is a very vigorous, very floriferous hybrid.

Your Paph has a name: Somers Phil. And one of its siblings has an HCC/CCM, awarded a couple of years ago. It's a very nice flower, and loves to bloom.
 
Great growing, very nice. This is an easy growing hybrid. Always puts out lots of growth. I would love to see it crossed back to an album phil and crosses with emersonii or something round and album!!! Thanks for sharing
 
Incredible ammount of flowers. Well flowered, congratulations.
I am surprised by the petals, I was expecting them to be longer and much narrower
