I too think it's beautifully bizarre.

Very nice sukh! I'll show your gorgeous photos to my sulking one, maybe it'll start spiking then.  |

I think having two flowers too closely together like that and one shadowing the other reduces the overall beauty of it.
I did follow the other link and I LOVE the picture of just one flower (before the second bud opened).
The flower has really great shape and color, very representative of this species!

Certainly didn't expect it to have two flowers and can't say I disagree with you about the way they obscure each other.

I've pinched the second one off early when I've seen it's going to do that and I don't want it - allows it to put all the energy into the one flower that way. |

Did I say the flower is really nice! 
Yeah, after buying so many paphs this year, I see some of the "maudiae types" have two buds on one spike. I do not like it that way. Next time I will pinch them off early on and maybe that will make the single flower bigger? |

That's been my experience. I've also done the same on a sequential complex made with P. primulinum and gotten a really big flower out of that too (knowing I won't get a couple more, of course).

That is interesting on that sequential type.
My Paph. Jolly Holiday has two flowers open and I see at least two more coming.
I like this much better than Honey. Well, at least my Honey only had one flower open, with maybe one or two days overlapping of one old fading flower and another new one opening.
Sorry about hijacking, Ron.
