The only Paph hybrid I like.
I have a compot from this same grex too but far from blooming.

Lost mine to a greenhouse heater failure. Would love to have a good replacement.

Glad to see your reply, Leslie. From the heading of the thread I thought this was a new species that I wasn't familiar with. I do, also, like the cross.

mastersianum x hookerae.
I have one near bloom sized plant from the same source.
Looks like a larger version of Shirley Amundson.

thats a very attractive flower. Love the gloss and colour.
How true, I only can second this.
I love these so much I bought two compots from Zephyrus Orchids this past weekend at the Toronto show!!
If you're willing to share, I'd love to replace my lost one.
Here is another plant from the same cross that just opened this week. A slightly smaller flower and more horizontally held petals. There is a small color break in one petal. I think this could disappear in future blooming.

It has beautiful strong colours and as you said a looong flower stem. Beautiful flower and plant. Thanks for sharing. Lovely!
I find both very lovely (and I wouldn't worry about the colour break, unless it appeared year after year after....)!
Btw., as it's a hybrid, the name of the cross should be spelled with a capital letter first, that is: Paph. Xanthophyllum. Only species names start witj small, e.g. Paph. gratrixianum.
