Paph charlesworthii is an iconic species that has been used extensively in breeding for obvious reasons. The flower looks quite large in a photo but really it is quite petite - about 2" across. This is a first bloom seedling so the flower will get bigger next time but scarcely so. I am not happy about the color break on the right side of the dorsal - this negates any potential the flower might have otherwise for an award - but it may just disappear in subsequent flowerings.
