I bought a paph. Deperle a couple of years ago, and when I brought it home and repotted it I found a tiny seedling with stripy leaves growing in the pot. I potted the seedling and I've been curious about it ever since. I've wondered if it could be a different type of orchid that ended up in the pot, but I don't know any paphs with stripy leaves. Could it be a genetic anomaly of paph. Deperle? The leaves are quite rough and ridged, if that detail means anything to anyone. Some pictures attached. The last one has a similar sized paph. Deperle for comparison. I'm curious if anyone has a thought or guess what my bonus orchid might be.
Does this remind anyone of something?

It reminds me of unique rhodea. Might be worth lots to a Japanese collector of unusual leaf forms.
Looks like you got a variegated mutation, pretty uncommon in Paphs.
