Paph volonteanum 'Top Floor'

[SlipperKing]

Given an AM this past weekend at our judging and I wasn't there to see it!
This is the first of three to open but now will the first of two. The second plant had a deformed flower which I removed.

Congratulations on the AM Rick. Well deserved. Wonderful flower and amazing spike. Are all three from the same cross?

Really nice, amazing purple outlining on the petals! Congrats on the AM! :clap:
For the clonal name, did the tall spike inspire the name??

These came in with papers by Michael Ooi. I'm not sure of any cross

You bet! From the base of the plant to the tip of the dorsal, 25.5 inches. the second plant that hasn't opened yet is over 26inches!

Well done! I love the shiny texture of the flower and the
foliage ain't bad neither.

One of the finest species and this one deserves the award. Congrats Rick.
I got some ''Purple Wings'' x self from Sam. I only hope it is as good as this.
Very Nice!!

Beautiful... Love the leaves

These came in with papers by Michael Ooi. I'm not sure of any cross

In which case, it is probably wild stock.
