I can confirm. It is indeed a bud on a Paph.!! But I have no idea what species it might be.

Goodness, “Guessing Games” hurt my brain!
It certainly is hairy! Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum?

Thank, no hirsu.

Could be bungebelangii. They are starting now.

The bungebelangii were all blooming in South Africa in June. One of them won an AM.

Istvan, I can't even spell the name of this species correctly and so far haven't seen one .... and you've growing it in your GH.

Not a great pic of the plant at the Paph Symposium in June '23. There should be better pictures in the SA Orchids journal which is currently in print.

The name sounds like a pretty wild party of Berlusconi's....
