Vivienne,

I see a few influences... the spotting in the petals are commonly found in suhkahulii hybrids; the hairy petals can come form suk or wardii but can also come from one of the Cochlopetalum Paphs (like moquettianum or glaucophyllum); something about the downswept, subtly S-shaped petals and the huge dorsal suggests to me fairrieanum (possibly); the defined striping in the dorsal also suggests to me fairrieanum but could be a few other things too ....

I'll do a little research and see how close I can get. Stay tuned.....
