I went to Longwood Gardens yesterday, following are two pictures that I took there of Paphs.

Paph Bella 'Sanders' (philippinense x Vexillarium) [hybrid registered in 1904]


Paph Maudiae 'Magnificum' [hybrid registered in 1900]

I agree. Its different and I like it. How big was the plant?

 

[SlipperFan]

Very nice.
The first one looks "shy."

That first one is pretty funky looking!

Wow, classics.

I'm not sure how big the plant was, at Longwood in the orchid room they stick them in among foliage so you frequently have to make some special effort to see them. I have the impression that this plant was "average" in size: the inflorescence was too big for the plant to be small and I would have noticed a large plant despite the surroundings.
