This is a first bloom seedling from Hillsview Gardens. The flower stem is extremely tall, but I guess that is to be expected.

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

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.
