Do you have photos of this from other angles? This flower looks so weird my brain doesn't want to register what it looks like from a profile view.

So cool. Such tiny sepals for that size pouch. Thanks for the added photos! You're the best!

Istvan, come to the Paph Forum in DC with it Feb 8 & 9! You can enter it in the ‘Ugliest Paph’ Category Just kidding!! It’s not ugly, but it sure is unusual! It definitely would get a lot of attention!! If it blooms like that consistently, you may start a new direction in breeding!

The flower of this species supposedly looks like that naturally..., and that is why I love it too. Someday, it will be available in the U.S. legally and it won't be cheap...

Yes, probably the ugliest recently known species, it is true.I remember we called sangii the same few years ago. Anyway i like it.

I would never call it ugly...
It is unique and many people would love to have it in their collection...being a long-lasting flower, it is a huge bonus. I would take this species over many gaudy Cattleya or Phal hybrids.

It is a very striking plant - the one I saw at our paph show certainly polarised opinion.

I see it's already been used as a parent
