A true beauty, indeed!!

And if I may be so free as to wave my little local patriotic flag:
the album form of hennisianum was discovered by the danish master orchid-gardener, Hans Christiansen, from Fredensborg, just outside Copenhagen.
The flower/plant was later published by Roeth and Gruss as Paph. hennisianum forma christiansenii.

Mr. Christiansens nursery is always worth a visit - and his selection much wider than seen on his homepage:

I think one of Hans Christiansens greater triumphs over the last years, was when his Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis was awarded a gold medal at the 10th China International Orchid Show on Hainan - and chosen as Grand Champion:

Not a plant you want in your living room, though - it smells like rotting, dead elephant ;)
