Indeed, that's a very good P. gratrixianum maybe the best I've ever seen.

Any 'trix' to growing and blooming Paph. gratrixianum?

Have a gratrixianum/christensonianum that had 4 growths in bloom when I bought it but only 1 flower this year. Thanks

Indeed one of prettiest gratrixianum I’ve seen. The spotting on dorsal is dark and in a nice pattern.

However I saw one at Tokyo Orchid Nursery that was outstanding... balancing form and color.

The gratrixies from Xuan Son's (Hakone's photo) and from TON (Leslie) are quite different and both in their ways of excellent beauty. I wouldn't know to choose among them!

So far the best gratrix clone I've seen is 'Geyserland':
