Thanks for the great information! The flowers are progressing quickly so should not be long before I can post some pictures. It does appear to be three flowers and thanks for confirming that i was questioning how many. The second spike on this plant is coming along well too! These are my first paphs and first to bloom so I am very, very excited!

With regards to the mottled leaves, the Paph Somers Isle is a 'Maudiae' type so, that would give you the type of leaves you have here.

I look forward to seeing this in full bloom... I have a couple of these philippinense x "Maudaie-type" crosses and so would be a nice to see how they turn out.

cheers
