It is a fairrieanum x complex green hybrid. I have quite a few of those (and up to 5-6 pcs of some).

Your flower strongly resembles Fairly Stoned, which came to market abt 3 years ago. It originated from Lehua, who normally supplies plants with labels.

I have abt 60% confidence in this identification.

Since I posted the photo I checked Lehua Orchids site and I believe I found a match which strongly confirms your identification. A hybrid of two Paph. Fairly stoned, result: "Fairly sauced".(#00208 on Lehua site),I believe is a good match.
The place I obtained the plant does business with Lehua Orchids, another strong link.
Tag and bloom missing, I got it at discounted price 1 yr. ago. I like to be surprise when they bloom.
Thanks for your help.

I normally don't like complex hybrids, but this one definitely shows the P. fairieanum influence. Nice, and a keeper!

Yourneedfulthings 01-08-2015 06:36 PM

Yes, definitely a keeper and the flower is fairly large, about 4"-5"
I have other "surprise"ones. Hope they turn up as nice.

Fairly Sauced (I have seen 6-8 of these) tends to have a different dorsal shape. I would give that possibility 15-20% probability. Also, that hybrid was released much later (July 2013).

Fairly Stoned is the stronger candidate. That seedling population was released at least 18 months earlier.

More information is always good. The release date helps. I am learning the various species and start to recognize features. Happy they flower for me at this point.
I sent my photo to Graham at Lehua Orchids to see if he can recognize it.Will let you know his answer.
Thank you.

It's either Fairly Stoned or Fairly Sauced.
Both look awfully similar.
