I love it! But I wonder if it is labeled correctly. It definitely could be but if so that plant hit the genetic jackpot in multiple spots. With the petal, dorsal, and pouch color, I think it might be a second generation gigantifolium hybrid...or maybe even a fairly straight petaled chia Hua dancer.
 
It's a complex multi, the outcome could be variable, I was looking at it pondering stonei x, but the tag is probably right
 
It's a beautiful flower. It's mislabelled, though, there's no way that flower is 50% philippinense, not with that lip. It does seem to have some stonei or gigantifiolium and/or sanderianum in it.

Agreed, the white ovaries are suspicious. Whatever it is, it's very good. I just made Chiu Hua Dancer x St Swithin, if they bloom out like this, I will be very happy.
 
Beautiful! I echo stonei/gig influence as a possibility.

Isn't it fun when we pay for mis-labeled plants? :rollhappy:
