Since I just took these photos with my outdated phone for a friend...I thought I would post them here as well. The flower is still developing... NS should be around 5.5" when it is fully developed. The flower is fragrant.

I bought it as a NBS seedling a few years back...Recently, I got some background information on this plant--It came in a flask in 2014, from Hengduan Mts Biotech(China), described as "petal finely red spotted"--(sib cross #34 X #35). This particular clone is easy to grow and bloom for me even without light winter rest. Plant is mature now with 15" LS. Certainly it is a larger variety/clone with much larger flower. Here is a photo of its first bloom:

FYI, Paph Paradise has/had/still may have, seedlings of this variety(with red spots) available for ~$75. Recently, I bought a NBS seedling from Tim C. and I hope its flower will be smaller, no spots and hold up on its own stem better, your choice if you want to try this species.
