pikevi - I can narrow it down to the most likely candidates: Paph delenatii crossed with one of the Cochlopetalum Paphs:
Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum var. glaucophyllum = Paph Delophyllum
Paphiopedilum glaucophyllum var. moquetteanum = (not registered)
Paphiopedilum liemianum = Paph Annabellchen
Paphiopedilum primulinum var. primulinum = Paph Deperle
Paphiopedilum primulinum var. purpurascens = Paph Neil's Diamond
Paphiopedilum victoria-mariae = Paph Grassauer Abendrot
Paphiopedilum victoria-regina = Paph Grassau

If you do Google searches, you'll see that all of these hybrids look very much alike. I will say that Paph Delophyllum and Paph Deperle are very commonly found hybrids so my bet would be that it is one of those. ID confirmation will probably be impossible without DNA analysis.

seasun88 - Paphs are some of the easiest orchids to grow in your home. most fo them like the temperatures and light available in your home. They like to be kept evenly moist, never dry and never soggy. Take a look at the culture sheets at www.aos.org or on this forum for more soecific cultural info.
