    This is a cross registered by Ratcliffe. I picked up a couple of unbloomed seedlings from the Paph House when they sold off their stock. It's got 25% niveum in its background. Here's a comparison of last year's bloom and its current blooming. You can see how a first-bloom, un-established plant can compare to one that's settled in for a year. It's dorsal sepal is wider, petals are wider and the color is much more saturated.
