Paph Cupid's Arrow
(Wend Valley 'Valentine' x Jenna Marie 'Sparkle' HCC/AOS)
This is the second blooming of this plant. The ns is 11 cm. I am new to growing paphs. Are there additional measurements used ?
Need other photos ?
Be honest - looking for feedback so I can learn what to look for when shopping for new plants :)

Great looking plant! Award wise, the judges look for flat rounded blooms and your flower doesn't fall into that category unless it flattened out overtime after you took those pics.

Usually these have big round flat flowers but it is still quite pretty.

Thank you for the comments. The take away was the flower needs to be flatter. Are there any cultural ideas / suggestions that may improve the flowers 'flatness' ? Or is it all in the genes ??
Of the other 10 or so pictures I have found of Cupid's Arrow, I think this plant / flower has good color and markings. Just need it flatter :0
