Really impressive, especially re-blooming so soon.
Could you take a measurement of the flower - natural spread? I'm wondering how this compares to the one Conestoga with an award, Paph Conestoga 'OK' HCC/AOS (78 pts, 2012). That plant had only 3 flowers, more saturated color (so didn't show the speckled striping like this), and had 8.7cm natural spread.
And, if you have ever considered trying to pollinate one of your orchids, selfing this would be a good place to start.

Thanks NPM!
PaphMan, the NS is only 7.5 cm this time. This is because the petals are more downswept. The earlier flowering was 8.5 cm. You can see that the petals then were more horizontal. And you are right, the colors of this one shows the burgundy stripes better than the 'OK' cultivar.

Lemon and pink that's a awesome contrast! Possibly the colder nights had a big influence. I started leaving my windows open during the nights now to shock my Paphiopedilum to bloom.
Beautiful blooms!

Agreed! 'Raspberry Lemonade' would make a great cultivar name. |

Three flowers with NS of 9 cm. The colour intensity is slightly darker with the cooler nights.
