    Default Papiopedilum ???

    This paph, that is blooming rather easy, came to my collection as a present without any clou about the name. Although I still love it nameless, some suggestion would be highly appreciated.

    Ggggrrrreat paph
    I've gone through the RHS data base and put paph. tonsum as a seed and pollen parent and googled the resulting hybrids under images but the results were not good.
    Looks like there might be some primulinum in it.

    I keep looking at this Paph and keep wishing I had one or two or ten! I really do wish someone would figure out the name of this plant!

    Shantyman, how big are the flowers?
