Two Paphs need IDs

[shadytrake]

Hi all.

In assisting the local Botanic Gardens with caring for their orchids, I have come across some that have lost their tags.

These 2 nice Paphs need some ID help.

1 is the yellow
2 is the yellow's foliage
3 is the burgundy
4 is the burgundy's foliage (you can see the new growth)

As FYI, they were obtained by the gardens in the last 10years and they were probably a readily available cross rather than a hybridizer's rarity.

Also, the yellow one looks kind of peachy but that is because of my iPhone. In real life, it is pure lemon yellow and really bright.

Any IDeas?

The yellow one might actually be an insigne f. sanderae. No idea what the burgundy one is - some complex hybrid.

You know that is what I thought. It does have the spotting on the top sepal. You just can't see it in my photo. It's quite possible that a hobbyist was going to breed with it and ended up donating it to the gardens. That happened quite frequently several years ago.

I'll do some more digging to see if there are any other records.

Whatever it is, that yellow sure looks happy! Yellow paphs are really the only ones that have any draw for me, if we find out what this one is, I'd certainly look for it later in life.

the bulldog - maybe Paph Oto (Winston Churchill x fairrieanum) ?
