I was given a couple of these just about 4 years ago... finally bloomed one. I think it was worth the wait. This is two days open so it might get bigger over the next few days.

That's a really nice flower.
I had a look at its family tree and though it doesn't look like that it's almost a complex hybrid. Its ancestors are according to orchidroots.com - Paph. bellatulum (50%) + Paph. godefroyae (36%) + Paph. niveum (10%) + Paph. insigne (3%) furthermore Paph. spicerianum, villosum, fairrieanum and druryi.
