Hi Jean, it is very nice! But by the way the petals are waving; I'm having few questions for you;
1) Do you know or get any idea where it comes from?
2) Did the plant is growing as a clump or they are climbing with stolons out of the pot?
3) Did it branch?
4) Can we see a picture of the growths?
Before the recognition of the dalessandroï many plants were sold as Hanna Popow but they are now Seymour Tower (dalessandroï x schlimii) like that one. They are pretty close relatives....

very interesting Jean-Pierre!
Maybe you have read my (first in this forum!) thread from dec. 07!!
I bought 2 of them in 2003 from Wubben in the Netherlands , this one as a lindenii (I do not think that I got them from M. Wubben himself!

http://www.orchidwubben.com/ )!! Of course it was not, but as I had no lindenii to compare and still few interest in slippers, it was only last year, when the plant finally bloomed that I got this evidence!!
here a pict. of the plant to answer 2) and 4)!! Yes, climbing out of the pot!!!
A 2nd spike on the right side, the top hidden by the leaf.
But I do not think it branched at last year's bloom, and for this time it is maybe still too early!?
The 2nd plant is just starting its spike, but from a pict. of its last (and only) flowering in 2003 the same 'waving' of the petals is visible, and the new growths also are climbing out of the pot!
