Yeah, I think this is just a slightly darker form or possibly a cross between the standard and dunkel.

I have a bunch of delenatii that are mixture of standard x alba (but the leaves look "normal") and then the rest just say delenatii, so I have no idea. just assume that they are standard form by the look of the leaves.
I can't wait for them all bloom out one day.

Wow, that did turn out very pretty!
I had a lynnleigh and when it bloomed, I wasn't impressed with the appearance. It turned out not to be fragrant either. It quickly found a new home. You are right. Some of them are pretty and some just are not. Hope you find a good clone soon!

I think it is all malipoense's fault because at least to me, malipoense can be horribly ugly while good ones are very good. Delenatii on the other hand are pretty consistent.
LK, yeah, I'm still looking for "that one" but it seems like an illusion as with many other paphs that I wish to have a perfect form and color of.
