Posting this picture for a friend, as I mentioned that it didn't look like it was within the range of druryi, and looked a lot like another one posted here on the forum....
What does everyone think? It was very affordable from an orchid estate sale, so either way she'll enjoy it as a unique specimen, but she was curious to know more when I mentioned it was not a typical druryi

The other side of the tag says P. druryi - so it has a tag that is clearly legible, though obviously there's a chance the tag was meant for another pot, but it's not smudged or anything that would imply there was " x some other Paph " portion of the tag that was just missing or couldn't be read. This also shows some of the plant habit, which is similar, but not as chunky/rhizomous as mine, though again culture does vary some things. The blooms seem roughly the same size to me as my druryi, but the plants leaves are narrower, so the growths are packed together more exul-looking I guess I'd say? But I don't have an exul, basing that on a cross I used to have.

So, what say the other wonderful slipper-nuts? :wink:
