Paphiopedilum violascens
Paphiopedilum violascens - first time blooming this species. I love it !
Got this plant just last year 2016 slipper symposium. Happy to see it bloomed quickly. Mottled foliage.

Nicely colored example of the species, and not an easy one to grow for most. 2 or 3 small children could take a bath in that pouch.

You forget that I know as much about Paphs as my dog knows. Well, maybe slightly less, he's a pretty bright fella. Spicerianum has a similar coloration, doesn't it.
And the only thing in my pipe is tobacco. THOSE days are long past.
EDIT: To check myself I looked at an old photo of spicerianum. My conclusion? I'm stupid. I wish I HAD been smoking something!

There are several Paph species that share this color palette but I wouldn't have pegged spicerianum as one of them. Still, partial credit given for listing a Paph species, and for spelling. I'd be quite impressed if your dog could match that. What is his user name?

I could never smoke anything without coughing for 20 minutes, but few of our generation didn't indulge somehow.

His username is jkofferdahl - we share. His are the more intelligent posts, mine are the ones where I completely forget what a flower looks like and say something looks like it.
I've smoked a pipe (tobacco) since 1975. It doesn't make me cough. Other things have, of course.

I'm not a big fan of this section of Paphs, but I do like this species. That's a very chunky flower, and good color contrast. Good job!
