Paph IQ Test - Feb 4

[Piper]

For today's challenge, we have another primary hybrid, but I want to stipulate new rules for this one. I'd love to see some of the less experienced Paph folks try their hand at guessing. I think both parents show up well in this bloom, and it shouldn't be too hard.

So please PM me questions as well as guesses. Based on the questions I get, I'll post hints as necessary. PoP and Doc Spock, you guys can be pretty shameless about big fat hints. Please refrain. I'm the only legal hinter on this one.

Oops ! Sorry ..

Well, Gin was right on one of the parents. Come on, guys! Lynda, Katie...anyone else who loves a Paph and wants to play a bit...

The second parent can be misleading, if you judge by the horizontal petal stance - that comes from the venustum. That's a pretty big fat hint for Paph fans! But the petal shape, coloration, hairs, warts, and dorsal are all influenced by the second parent!
