| Paph St Swithin is a primary hybrid between P rothschildianum and P philippinense. Like most of the big multi-florals, it likes conditions slightly warmer and slightly brighter than what we typically think of for Paphs. Your plant is blooming size and looks to be in good health though I do agree with Tom about the exposed roots. Regarding the length of time (10-12 years) needed to bloom, this refers to the length of time from flask to bloom but for a hybrid like St Swithin it wouldn't be quite that long. Having said that they aren't the fastest growers, although I don't think I'd describe them as tricky. In April I bought a St Swithin about the same size as yours and it has not grown in the time i've had it. Because its a bigger plant it won't bloom every year like smaller Paphs but if you give it good culture and are patient it should eventually bloom.
