Paph haynaldianum
At the Dec 2014 auction at the local AOS Judging Center, I bid on a previously bloomed Paph haynaldianum, despite a lack of flower photo.
I am not disappointed in this plant, it has nice colors. The first flower started opening last weekend, and by today the flower is 15.5 cm across. I will check again next weekend to see whether it gets any bigger.

I use Paph mix from Waldor Orchids (bark, charcoal, perlite, some CCH chips and a few 'secret' ingredients), in a plastic pot. Greenhouse is shaded for Cattleya conditions, so I have my Paphs under some hanging Vandas & Cattleyas.
We water heavily every Saturday. From May through October a helper provides a light watering mid week. We fertilize every 2 weeks (4 weeks from mid Dec thru Feb).
