Vivienne,

I think you've solved the mystery. I was able to find a number of pics of Tomas Garcia, and Inca. Both exhibition Paphs and both posess characteristics that could very well produce a flower with markings and colours like yours. I think you're spot on. Congrats! You're turning into a great orchid name sleuth!

By the way, I find your new Paph to be very attractive. It has many nice qualities that judges like. The dorsal sepal is well formed, symetrical and the synsepal or ventral sepal frames the pouch very nicely. The petals are nicely held, outstreched and appear to be well formed. The markings appear to be clear and attractive and the colours even. Could I possibly trouble you to take a straight-on pic of just the flower and post it? While it's dificult to tel just from a pic, my first impression is that your flower may have award-quality attributes.
