Paph. Salvadore Dali
A confusing cross of Paph. liemianum x victoria-regina. The second flower has been open about five days. It generally drops the first flower shortly after the second one opens. The plant is huge with a leaf span of around 24".

But it's not drooping or dripping... nor look like a clock. Why the Salvador Dali name? What am I missing?

I didn't name it. That's the name of the cross when I purchased it. I think someone on this board has taken credit for making this cross, but I don't remember who it was. |

The answer to that question is somewhat fluid, and depends upon whether you are a 'lumper' or a 'splitter'.
