    "Candace" Absolutely right ... Congratulations.
    It is Paphiopedilum wardii, this Orchids got a flower on the 8 x 9 cm and on 13 cm spike ... ....
    It is available in China and Burma where it grows at an altitude of 1200-1500 meters .... Possibly so, it is a natural hybrid between P. venustum x sukhakulii
