    "Candace" Absolutely right ... Congratulations.
    It is Paphiopedilum helenae, this small Orchids who received a flower at 4 cm wide and 6 cm high, on a spike at 6 cm ....
    It is available in China and Vietnam where it grows at an altitude of 500-1000 meters, where it thrives very well in limestone!
