New Orchid - Paph Memnon?

[baulou]

I purchased this orchid today and it was labelled Paph. Charlesworthii. However, I think it is Paph. Memnon (Charlesworthii x Spicerianum). Anyone care to add their opinion? Thanks for looking.

Would have to agree with you. From what I have found, I'd have to say it is not the species, Paph charlesworthii. The first 2 pics are of charlesworthii and the last of spicerianum (none of these pics are of my plants).

It certainly isn't charlesworthii, but I'm curious if you're going to keep it or return it for the charlesworthii.

Have to agree with the other opinions here. It's got a trace of that spicerianum stripe down the middle of the dorsal sepal. Regardless of the parents, that's one good looking 'chid!

I will keep this one. I just wanted to identify it. I like the flower. I found this image on a Japanese website (I live in Japan) which shows Paph. Memnon "China Wine". It looks identical to me.
