Paphiopedilum niveum (Perfect Circle x New Super Bowl)

[jokerpass]

I purchased this plant from an orchid friend 7-8 years ago. Originally, this plant was from Orchid Inn. It blooms once every 2 years when a growth matures. Although the petals are somewhat round, it is not truly symmetrical and the pouch is not centered. The ns of the plant is 2.5in/6.5cm. This year, there were 2 flower spikes (2 flower buds on each flower spike); however, the 1st spike was broken by cat, so I only have 1 flower spike this year (with 2 flowers).
