Paph (Black Stallion x Joanne's Wine) x Wizard of Oz

I have a bit of a mystery on the correct name on this paph. I ventured into trying to grow lady slippers last year when I was lucky enough to purchase 4 paphs from Nora aka dounoharm on a visit to her greenhouse.
This paph did not have a tag and of course it is the first one to bloom

Nora recalls this being in a group of paph crosses she purchased from Hauserman's in 2008. And she recalled the names Wizard of Oz and Black Stallion.

A post elsewhere found a person who has Paph (Black Stallion x Joanne's Wine) x Wizard of Oz 'Hauserman's Toto' AM/AOS that he purchased fall '08 at the annual Chicagoland Orchidfest from Hausermans. His flower is darker but similar in shape.

My flower has a natural spread of 4.5 inches.

Anyone else out there have a Hauserman paph cross from the same period ?

It might be worth contacting Hausermans with your pictures and what you remember. They are a good nursary and should have records of what hybrids they were growing/selling and when. You will be most certain if they can confirm the ID than if you get one from someone else.

That looks like my paph--Paph. callosum "Hilo Fire" AM/AOS x Paph Hilo Ruby 'Winery"
