I have had it a few years now and it´s first time it flowered. It was taged parnatanum, but I can se it´s not.

Hi Spider, I have one just like that but since it hasn't bloomed since last year I dont pay too much attention to it, and well if you don't get an id on it, I will look at its tag when I get home. Of course there is no guarantee its the same but it looks the same

Thank you. I look foreward to hear from you.

Here are some "similar" maudiae type paphs. Hybrids are always tough to ID.

Very nice photos, and plant, thank you. Love the them, but the plant are just not quite the same. Here is a larger picture

The petals are held slightly behind the poutch and the markings on the leaves are very clear, dark green on a light green background with dark green veins. No markings on the underside. The tip of the leaves seems to be split.

It looks like a hybrid between something like Paph bullenianum and perhaps Paph superbiens.

I have been thinking a little, and looked at a lot of pictures, I have asked Dr. Tananka, but not had an answere yet. I have looked at pictures of parnatanum and usitanum and it looks like something between the two

ok Spider,here's the tag on mine Paph.Red Glory #2 x Paph.Mem.Arthur Coetzee.
After looking at these other pics and seeing how similar they all look, I wonder how you'd be able to tell for sure.
I'm looking for a pic of mine to post here. Ill get back at you.
