I like Paphs, and that one is a beauty! I used to grow and bloom quite a few, but the growing conditions aren't as favourable to them now; nevertheless, I do still have a few.

What a striking dorsal petal! Awesome flower, and cool veining on the pouch. I am not a fan simply because I have no success...my single paph Deperle has been slowly maturing 2 fans over a span of no less than 2 years, and I haven't seen a bloom in over 2 and a half years..plant seems healthy, so either I'm doing something wrong, or the plant is just a REAL slow grower. Your photo makes me want to try more of these beauties.
