I'll try and find a high res pic. Otherwise I'll have to wait for the next bloom. That was 1y ago!

Love it, but I'm partial. ;)

I have one, or possibly two, of this variety/species/what ever the heck it is ( :wink: ). The first one, you guys helped me identify properly as it was sold to as a P. ceramense. The second one is going to be very exciting to see, since I got it as P. robinsonii. The cerveranum and robinsonii are both in bud and are going to bloom, but so far they're quite different; the cerveranum with its super tall spike and the robinsonii with its more moderate spike. I look forward to see if the robinsonii has the "tooth" on the staminode as my cerveranum do. :D

It's a very lovely and easy Paph to grow. :D
 
That is P. cerveranum. Notice that the notch in the bottom part of the staminode that differentiates P. appletonianum from P. cerveranum is absent. That notch is conspicuous in P. appletonianum. Also notice the horn at the top of the staminode, another distinguishing feature.
