Hi everyone! I recently had this bloom which I had bought off a Taiwanese grower (with a history of backcrossing hybrids to one of the parents and passing it off as a species) as Paph. moquetteanum flower for me, and it has quite a nice flower span! I do have doubts about whether it is a true moquetteanum, as the staminode looks a little too wide, and the colouration of the dorsal looks a little off.

I've also bought this "gratrixianum" off the same seller, but to me it looks like there's insigne influence in it. I am aware that there are variable forms of gratrixianum, but I'm still very skeptical. Could anyone help me out here? Thanks so much!
