Susan, I believe that it might be a barbigerum hybrid, but I don’t think it’s the species.

Cute little freebie I got a couple years ago. First time blooming for me. Bonus is there are 2 more buds coming.

Ray, I beg to differ. The plant was donated to my local orchid society by an extremely well know Paph. breeder/grower with an impeccable reputation when he came to speak at a society meeting. The plant was then given out as a society holiday gift plant. Here is an updated photo. The first was taken shortly after opening and the flower had not developed its full character yet.

Oh yeah! Looks "real" now.
