Paph Leeanum 'Martino' HCC/AOS
Paph. Leeanum (Paph. insigne X Paph. spicerianum) is a great cross. It took the best of both parents and what we got was a wonderful plant that blooms like clockwork year after year with little care or bother. If I ever decide to downsize my collection, this will be one of the plants that I keep.

Thanks guys, one of the great things about it for me is that it doesn't mind the Florida heat, I have a hard time getting spicerianum to bloom well because of the heat and this looks so much like it.

Lovely! Funny that I was just admiring a photo of Paph. Leeanum is a lovely orchid book and it was saying it is a great old hybrid that has stood the test of time.

Bill - You are correct, there are two additional spikes opening and another two deep down in the leaf axis of other growths. There would normally be more but I divided the plant this Spring so that I could give divisions to two friends.
