Gorgeous plant..but the leaves seem a little narrow for the plant that Christenson has described as the "true" gratrixianum...the plants of that type that I have seen have wide leaves, resembling a complex paph rather than villosum or insigne. How much variation is there in leaf size and shape in the "true" gratrixianums? Take care, Eric
The world is definitely coming to an end... our "gratrixianum" is in bud too. That thing never blooms before January. It has long, narrow leaves super well marked, as is the bract. The pouch is the most beautiful mix of honey, pink, and peach tones. The color from the petals also streaks up into the dorsal. The petals curl backwards and hug the pouch a little. See a pic at our Paph gallery. One spicerianum is opening up too.

Is this the "true" Paph gratrixianum as compared to the common Paph gratrixianum which is actually Paph affine?
This is a lovely flower.
