What is this?

[mccallen]

No ID Paph in bloom.
Is it Transvaal? Prime Child? Something else?
Thanks for any ideas.

I dont know but it sure looks nice

Does anyone think that an alba phillipinense is in the background of this one? I'm not an expert, but that's what I'm guessing. And maybe liemiana, too. Just a guess, though.

I'd vote for Prime Child: http://www.slipperorchids.info/paphprimaries/index.html

Oh, yeah, looks a lot like this one:

Very nice paph, whatever the ID may be.. I like the contrast vbetween the greenish petals and the reddish lip..

Does Prime Child usually have colour over the entire pouch? It really does not look like Paph Transvaal too me either.
Could it be Prime Child x primulinum?
Although I feel like I am seeing the moquettianum influence that might make you think Transvaal.

I'm guessing Paph Mount Avalon (Mount Toro X Avalon Mist). Seen a bunch of these and they pretty consistently have that chubby pouch. The wonky staminode goes away on second spikes.

Oooh good call. I would not have guessed that.

My guess is based on what's floating around right now. If you got it more than a 6-8 months ago, my guess is probably void.

i will go out on a limb and say it's an orchid.
i will go so far as to say it's a Paph.....

Primechild x fuchsia?

My guess is Paphiopedilum Riefer Dirndln, notice the lack of spotting on the petals.
