Paphiopedilum wenshanense aureum
This plant was purchased in bud last winter as bellatulum.
The bud blasted, which was expected. It slowly grew this whole new growth and finally spiked in May, and opened last month.
When the bud started to swell up, I knew it was not bellatulum. When it finally opened, I had never been so happy about mislabeled plant like this before! 
I love this flower. There is a new growth starting, so hopefully this plant stays with me for a long time.
I also have one more "bellatulum" bought with this one, that is now in bud. It should flower in about two month. can't wait!!!

This seems to be one of the more poorly known species, hence, the mislabeling. I know. Bellatulum has more rounded perianth segments
