So my little pretty opened its hairy bud much faster than I had anticipated (I don't think it's completely opened yet, but I can't wait any longer) and I'm very happy with it.
I love its dark pouch and the contrasting colours between its dorsal and pouch and I really love the stripes and spots on it.
I can't take any credit for the spike since I've only had it for a month, but I'll take credit for not killing it (it's a bit temperamental and starts to sulk as soon as it thinks it has been too long since it was watered).
So, here it is:

The entire plant:
Paph. ciliolare
Good thing the flower isn't any larger, or it would tip the pot over!
