Yes, they are miniature Paphies..

the pots are 3.5 inches wide... I think there is a vendor in Canada who has them, as well as some of its primary hybrids (This species is not legal in the USA)

Ramon, the ones I've seen in person have had more red in the pouch, and kind of nondescript petals. Some have a white halo on the dorsal, some don't. I've actually see a few of them here in the US, though not for sale online. They certainly aren't cheap here!
