Paph Crouching Tiger (Bel Royal 'Lightness' x philippinense alba 'Clarity')
This is a fairly common hybrid these days, and one I like a lot. Seems to be a wide amount of variation among clones. I liked this one so much because the color of the lip is more yellow than others, and the petals got a good shot of philippinense in terms of color, stance, length, and the twists!
This is its 3rd spike since I got it less than 2 years ago. So, it's nice and vigorous.
Personally I prefer colorful multi-florals, so I never would have purchased this plant based on the name. However, I purchased it in bloom, so I knew exactly what I was getting -- a really nice flower.
