Your heart will skip yet another beat when you find out how not so easy it is to bloom these plants.

She wants something without spots or striations, but just solid plain pink.
I think delenatii, Ho Chi Minh (good ones are really good!) something along this line if full round shape is what she likes.
Delenatii crossed with any sequential bloomer come out basically looking the same.
Paphiopedilum Deperle, Dellophylum, Annabelchen, Pink Fred, .... all the same stuff basically.
Phrag Schlimii is also nice little flowers with subtle fragrance. easy to care for. and many of its hybrids are also pink toned.
There are quite a few nice pink complex hybrid paphs but they are at least hundreds of dollars each to thousands per growth!
