Nice, did it have a name?

It's gorgeous!! Looks like it has another bloom coming up behind. Is it a multifloral or sequential bloomer?

I was going to guess it was a Sedenii, and that's not too far off since it is a parent of Ainsworthii! (I just ordered a Sedenii, so the grower's photos of the blooms were still fresh in my mind)

Thank you. I am a total novice here.... I don't even know the difference between an Ainsworthii and a Sedenii. There was no tag on the plant, but I was told it was Ainsworthii, but the seller looked like she was guessing. You might be right - maybe it is Sedenii? I think it's a multi floral.

Many Phrags are multi-floral sequential bloomers. The old flower often still looks perfect when it drops. No worries, there is likely to be another just behind it. With this pattern, the plant may stay in bloom for several months although the individual flowers only last a couple of weeks

I don't know much about Phrags, the Sedenii I ordered will be the first one for me! I'm not doubting the ID of yours, it's just that as I had seen photos of the Sedenii literally minutes before seeing your post, I immediately saw the Sedenii influence in yours (Phrag. Ainsworthii = longifolium x Sedenii).

Thanks for the info. I meant multifloral in the sense that it would have several open blooms at once, as opposed to several blooms one after the other as I see with Paphs such as Paph Pinocchio.

Very pretty.
