Yellow noid paph
 

Can anyone identify this paph? I know there are a ton of complex yellow paphs and it might be next to impossible to id. I want the same or similar paph because this is the picture of the orchid that started my orchid hobby. To me, this looks like a hybrid between a complex yellow paph and a yellow paph species in the paphiopedilum subgenus of paphiopedilum. I like the full, but not round shape, teardrop shaped pouch, fringe of white on the dorsal, and the yellow, waxy color. Any suggestions for similar looking ones?

Anyone?
 

Does anyone have any idea? Even if it is very similar or what cross might be similar.

Wow that's beautiful! Hope someone is able to help!

Any guesses as to what species or hybrids may be parents? Or any idea at all/clues?

I'd say impossible to id. Paphs aren't cloned, so every one is seed grown and unique (unless they get big enough to divide of course). I'd say your best bet is to ask a good grower what they've got that's similar.

This a complex hybrid, and there are dozens or hundreds of crosses too similar to make a positive ID possible. Pacific Shamrock and Emerald Magic are 2 hybrids of this type, green or yellow 'alba' cousins of the complex Paphs sometimes called bulldogs or toads, but I am not suggesting it is either of those hybrids. Just no way to know.

The somewhat open form of this might mean it is a cross with a species, most likely a species that is already in the background of the complex parent, villosum, insigne, boxallii; but that is far from certain. You can see shapes like this in progeny of the roundest fullest complex hybrids.

Any reccomendations for similar ones? Like a complex crossed with a species.

No idea what it is but it is very pretty.

As mentioned above, it's impossible. Look up green complex paph yourself and see how many there are and remember, each of those pictures is not a fixed phenotype of that cross. So many variations within each grex, so, it is truly impossible to tell what paphs are involved.
Just enjoy your green flower!
I find the pouch shape on this flower quite different than most.
