This is my no name paph. Last year it had three blooms this year it has two. My best guess is a cross be paph. Maudiae x (some multiflorial paph)

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)


I selfed it as I really like the large multiple maudiae like blooms.

I am very certain that there is no multi in your plant. Leaves and the flower structure show no such influence at all.
Bi-floral feature is not uncommon among Maudiae type hybrids.

Also, being a rather complex hybrid, selfing this flower will yield typical white/green flowered plants with/without bi-floral feature.
 
I agree this does not look like it has any non-Maudiae type ancestry. 3 flowers is somewhat rare but 2 is not uncommon at all. Grow it to a big multi-growth plant to encourage the trifloral potential. Selfing it might give some really nice Maudi-NoIDs, great vigorous starter slippers for someone. Breeding NoIDs is pretty much a dead end though, and it will certainly never have a positive ID.
 
Thank you for the info :)

I'll label it maudiae NOID

I selfed it to flask just for pratice in the lab. Plus it's my first of now 20 paphs so I'd love to have the offspring.
