Hi,
I have lots of Paphs, and love them. They grow wonderfully and there are so many to pick from.

The Paph primulinum is one that I have and it is growing like crazy! It just bloomed its second flower, and I had two for a week or so then the older flower dropped off. I also have another bud starting. It is fun to see how many flowers it will bloom.

The other one that is a great fast grower is Paph sukhakulii x Oriental Spice, very pretty cross and grows well, I have 4 new growths.

Paph Magic Lantern is another nice one, pretty pink flower with dark mottled leaves. Paph Armeni White also has dark mottled leaves, with a white flower.

My green leaved Paphs I put right next to the east facing window, and my mottled leave Paphs I put a little further away from the window but they still get plenty of light, skylight above and right between the east and west facing window.

Good luck in choosing! Post pictures of what you get!
