Machiela's Orchids; The Fraud Orchid

[Mahon]

Ok, so I purchased the "fraud" orchid from Machiela's Orchids off eBay. It is Paph. phillipinense var. roebelenii 'Candor Red Streamers'... well, as it is thought to be that cultivar... :rolleyes:

Personally, I hope it isn't that cultivar, primarily because I don't care for the coloration and form, I'd rather have another Paph. roebelenii. For the price I paid for it, the plant is a bargain. Seeing the plant in person, I'd be willing to pay more than what the auction went for... there are 8 unbloomed, near mature growths, and I estimate that about 5 of them will bloom (what a show if it's synchronized blooming!)...

Here is a picture of the plant;
