Nice! Did it bloom on the first growth?
I just got one from the Fishers! Excited!

Yes it flowered from first growth, and yes a big plant, compered to my Phrags.
I like long petals Paph.

Nice close-up!! Please post another photo after about a week, I think the petals will be fully filled out by then (assuming they're not already).

I like the color.

So, first congrats.

Second, where did you get it?

Lastly, how old when you first saw the spike, and how much longer till it flowered?

P S. Thx for posting.

Thanks.
I get this seedling as a gift from a friend that went to Japan, sorry no clonal name, it came as a tiny seedling from a flask that other friends also had.
It takes a long time to flower, If I'm not wrong more than 8 years ( I have a reference from an hybrid phrag I made and has not flowered yet)
I grow most Phragmipedia, Paphiopedilum only the ones I receive as gifts or exchange with some of my Phrag's.
As far as I remember I first notice the modified leaf 3-4 months ago, today only the second flower is on the spike , the first fall yesterday night.
