Mis labeled as p black wings, any ideas

I have no idea what this is but I absolutely love it. Went away for a week and was like where did you come from lol. If you have ideas let me know. I was thinking paph sander's pride but this one has way better color in my opinion: upper bright green petals that go to a deep purple.

Mount toro is a good guess. They can have quite long petals.

You have not seen a Sander's Pride in person, have you? Yours is not Sander's Pride (far from it for sure). Of all the plants I had lost in the past, my Sander's Pride from OL many years ago hurt me the most, it was a special one in terms of color and form.

kido, let's be honest, you must have noticed this plant in buds...they don't develop over just a week.

Well the one on orchid roots looks quite similar except petal length,
Paphiopedilum Sander's Pride

Also, boomer, I did noticed this in spike and was expecting p black wings like the label said but was shocked, after vacation, when I walked into the room. Better luck next time keeping your sanders pride alive next time

If you call that quite similar, then every long petal Paph. will be the same...and that is not a good example of Sander's Pride...take a look at the good ones.
