What a species. You are just making me impatient. I'll go and read the riot act to my plants this weekend.

It really is magnificent! Puts mine to shame, though mine is much younger of course...

Stunning, I just love the form.

Is the Paph Philippinense (light yellow form) from Ratcliffe's similar to the roebellinii?

Yes, the yellow form of laevigatum from Ratcliffe's should look similar to roebellinii but roebellinii has longer more twisted petals and of course much darker colors.
