Paph moquettianum
Here's one we just picked up last month at Cloud's, it's been blooming for a couple weeks at least.

Great growing! I saw that at a orchid show one time. I almost bought it, but bought 2 other instead.

moquettianum is the 'big form' of this group. I don't know if it is really a separate species or not, but they are consistently huge.

And the deal is done!
Thanks everyone, they are worth adding to the collection, for sure. Apparently they flower for months to! The flower is a little over 4 inches wide and the lip is two inches long and this is just it's first flower. It will be interesting to see how big the flower will get when it's a larger plant.
