Yes, P. venustum v. (fma?) Measuresianum. Poorly named alba by many. Its a very nice Paph. This flower looks a bit floppy, better culture will fix that.

Thanks Roy for the additional info Roy I wish it will improve for the next season.

With your culture it should Zain. Flower may be old also. Rarely is there a poor form of this. I wanted to but one at a show last year, Ha, didn't have enough money. Nurseries are charging really stupid prices for plants these days.

Hopefully it will, most of the yellow/alba form are expensive especially when they are rare, here roughly around 21 USD.

21 USD & flowering, can't buy a seedling in a 50mm/2 inch pot for that here, add 10 USD atleast.

"21 USD & flowering"
