Thank you all. I just came back from Taiwan. Spent 3 days visiting various paph growers. I was invited to see Tawain Paphiopedlium Society judging last week. It was such a treat because there were so many high quality slippers all in one place. People were friendly.
This Paph philippinense (philippinense 'Mercury' SM/TPS X philippinense 'MH-11' BM/TPS) is a high quality cross and I'm looking forward to bloom more seedlings from it. When I was in Taiwan I visited MH Orchids.
Here are a few photos of the nice Paph philippinense I took with my phone while visiting in Taiwan.

As you can see from these pictures, a large paph philippinense will take up quite a bit of space yet spectacular.
At the TPS Orchid Judging/Show
A different strain - impressive 3 spikes not staked. Just to show the floriferousness of this species.

No these are taken at various places.
MH = Miao Hua Orchids. I recognized MHxxx numbers on some of the paphs I got from Hawaii before.
From Internet
Located in Taiwan’s Changhua county, Miao Hua Orchids have dedicated itself to Paphiopedilum orchid farm operation and seedling cultivation for over a decade since its establishment in 2000. Focused on long-term cultivation of rare Paphiopedilum orchid varieties, the company offers many exceptional and distinctive varieties to attract buyers.
They do paph cut flowers also.

Wow!
That dorsal colour is amazing. Crossed with a dark anitum and we should have black dorsals.
