This guy opened yesterday. Love those stripes!
The tag says Paph. Yellow Tiger (stonei x praestans), but when I checked at the RHS, they state that this cross is glanduliferum x platyphyllum! This led to much googling and reading on the web, and finding out that glanduliferum is synonymous with praestans, while platyphyllum is the new name for stonei var. latifolium. Interesting and confusing at the same time.
