Paph Hat Trick

Here's my third plant of this cross to bloom this year. 9cm flower and big dorsal but the pouch and staminode are a little wonky. Still pretty nice. We shall see if it stays flat or starts to ruffle.

That is a nice flower for sure. I have noticed that a few times with Brachy’s, the staminode kind of gets stuck in the top of the pouch. Hopefully it grows out of that.

Yes that's exactly it. I think I'll give another blooming to decide. The prior one I bloomed I think makes the cut. I made the following cross with it. Hopefully it takes.
