    This is your basic, seen everywhere Paph. dianthum.
    Yours is a hybrid I haven't worked out what it is as yet.

    Maybe hybrid or maybe species as the plant that I got it directly from the jungle. cxcanh also posted the same photo previously. Can see his photo below.

    Unlikely Yug as parishii have had many flowers and different shape.

    I really enjoyed it and the seller is correct as it can flower in low land so sad another spike was aborted due to Erwinia.

    Thanks Roy sometimes I also wondering what it is as I have no experience about this species/hybrid and is not typical for dianthum by observing the dorsal, it's very tough flower and the bristles very prominent over the petals which I thought initially as caterpillar and I concur with you may need to be tested later..
