Paph Question -- What's that growing?

[Dooyen san]

uhm...I picked that one up at Safeway. I just thought it was cool looking so I got it. It didn't come with a specific name...would anyone be able to tell me? I didn't take a picture of it when it was still in bloom but I found this picture on the internet that looks like it:

neato I like the vinicolor Paphs! I have a no name one, also. I think they're honestly the kind of thing where if it didn't come with a name, you'll never know the name...still they're a lot of fun and it definitely looks like you're taking good care of yours

Yeah it's pretty tough to ID a Maudiae type Paph. There aren't too many that are unique enough to be sure of what they are, and variation within a grex makes it even harder, because you can have one clone of one grex that looks like a clone of another grex, even if it is not "typical" of that grex to look that way.

At least you know you have a pretty awesome houseplant!

Yes, indeed it is an awesome houseplant! I also purchased another one not too long after I got that one because I couldn't resist how cool they looked. It's a green and white one.
