Paph. wardii...almost there!
Paph. wardii must be the slowest grower ever! Paph. Pinocchio spiked later than wardii and is blooming now. The flower on wardii is not fully open yet, guess it needs another week. 
My little Haraella odorata has two spikes and I'm looking forward to the cute little flowers. Maybe they'll even have a scent this time around.  |

Actually, for a Paph. wardii, this may not open much more. Most wardii's carry their petals at a downward angle and the dorsal held forward, although there are exceptions.

I had no idea @paphluvr, that is good to know. I would have waited forever for the dorsal to straighten.
Thanks everyone for the nice comments! |

Paph. wardii
Mine finally bloomed and I got some photos to show you as a comparison. If you'll notice, the dorsal sepal and synsepal are actually in almost the same plane. It appears as if the dorsal is held forward while the synsepal is held away from the rear of the pouch. Also, the same down-sweep on the petals.

Nice flowers. With flowers, you have no choice but to wait or destroy. Well, its obvious we will all wait.
