phallove is on a distinguished road
is it Spicerianum,or hybrid of?

Bought this Lovely paph last year, and it Blessed me with a new bloom this year To me, it doesn't look all Spicey, [the ones I've googled look very similar] Either way, I Love the bloom, its a very large colorful flower
If anyone knows what the possible cross is, that would be great.

Hey Phallove....I say hybrid of. I have one very similar. This is a picture of it's parent plant a few years ago. When it blooms here shortly, I'll post a picture and we can compare. Great looking Flower!

Well I don't know if this helps or not but this is what my P. spicerianum looks like and I know for sure that's what it is.... Jim.
