The Bloom Process ahnd Guess the parentage

[Mocchaccino]

I bought this in late July. When I was hanging around the shop I found this plant named as Paph. philippinense which had a tiny brown to black shealth-like thing growing at the center. With the side growth it had put on, I assumed it was spiking.

After a while, I noticed that the leaves did not match the ordinary philippinense. The leaf span is just about 12-15". So I began to question the identity of this plant. Here is the progress:

What it was written on the pot:

7 August

15 August

19 August

23 August

9 September

Today:

I would like to bring out the guessing. What I know for sure: This is a hybrid cross definitely with one of the sequential species.

Lets wait and see what it looks like open.
$85 is a lot for NOID.

It'sHK dollars. I think it's about $10 US

I agree with Ozpath, it's gotta open more.

I would have thought if it was phillipinense specie it would be carrying more than one bud------- but it's not unusual for me to be wrong!
Will be beautiful when it finally opens.

Not unusual at all for you to be wrong?....... I see two buds?

Not philippinense. Maybe Addicted Philip made with anitum?

I guess it is just a P. Shireen (glaucophyllum x philippinense). IMO a true philippinense would have been better.

I think Rick got it right. I am thinking of Vanguard.
