I got this as a superbiens division from a plant that has been in collection for decades at a Belgian nursery. My feeling says it is an "original type" superbiens fma. sanderae, but I know the challenges within the "superbiens complex": Paph. superbiens var. curtisii fma. sanderae? / Paph...

The plant suffered from a heavy persistent mytes infection and I was about to get rid of it when I saw a flower emerging. I am very happy I granted it more time to show it's first flower. I like it has so much of the stonei genes. I already cut the flower to let all energy go the new fan...
