Paph.
Bingo! Might you provide an answer with a bit more speci(es)ficity?!
Eric you are soooo astute! I don't know a great deal about Paphs.: I'm a Phrag. grower. Another astute comment...
it has really pretty leaves and I'm looking forward to seeing the flower.

Is it a species or hybrid?
I will lean me out of the window now ...... Paph. dayanum, isn't it Jens.

Did you purposely remove the tag or is it lost? Much easier to identify once it blooms.
Consider this reply to Eric:
Not a bad proposal...not quite there, though, Rudolf!
Jens, my last cartridge in the barrel ..... Paph. callosum var. potentianum.

I'm with @Eric no doubt on that one....
I hope this is the right answer. Those are lovely.
Well, the answer is: P. lunatum
I'm not fully content with it, but it's a first flowering, so will just have to hope for a better result one of the next time around!

Could it be javanicum maybe?
It’s lovely. Absolutely lovely.
I love the color.
Hi, to my compatrioteCould it be javanicum maybe?

Like Rudolf (GuRu) you weren't wide off the mark!
Kind regards, Jens
