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!
only a mother could 'love' that
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...

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

dear all,
has anyone a valid CITES for bungebelangii? I am sure that not...

That is a hybrid with lunatum, quite nice! (at first, I didn't read your post carefully...I thought it was the species)

Not even legal in EU/Germany? For sure it is not legal here yet (in the U.S)
I don't think Hungary is enforcing the CITES that much....
I was teasing you! I think it‘s really nice because of its uniqueness!!Yes, probably the ugliest recently known species, it is true.
