Paph. venustum var. pradhanii 'Jo's Gift'
Or at least that is what the tag says. I bought it as a division from Orchid Inn. To me it just looks like a regular venustum.
Searched in the internet and given that I didn't find a lot of photos about this variety. I wasn't too much hopeful. Just bought it for curiosity. (Also helped that I'm a sucker for venustum)

Oh well, petals are flat at least. |

I'm sure it is venustum, but to me, it looks almost like a hybrid.
Truly flat petals without any twisting which is what I though all venustum had on their petals.
Very interesting pattern on the leaves.

If memory serves, I believe Pradhan was the one who rediscovered P. druryii. Maybe this is who the variety is named after.
