Paph. Jade Dragon finally re-bloomed

[Paphluvr]

I finally was successful in re-blooming my Paph. Jade Dragon. I received it in bud several years ago but the bud got damaged in shipment so the flower opened with some damage to the dorsal.

Two seasons ago the sheath barely emerged from the fan before it blasted. Last year the spike got about 6-7" long before it stalled and blasted again. This year - success, with a spike that definitely takes after its malipoense parent with a length of 35.5cm. Unfortunately, my little pocket digital does a good job of holding focus when the subject is off center, but not exposure, so I can't get a good photo of the whole plant.

Any fragrance? The colors are balanced well. It looks like an animal or something from 'Aliens' between the glossiness and the hairiness.

Very faintly fragrant. I can only describe it as "pleasant".
