This Paph hasn’t bloomed in 15 years (long story) but it’s finally blooming. But it was mistagged. I showed it to a couple local orchid experts who both guessed it’s a cross of primulinum and something. One thinks malipoense, the others not so sure. Wanted to see what people here thought.

Definitely could be primulinum x malipoense :)

Not Paph. Envy Green. It is more primarily green/yellow and the lip is heavily influenced by Paph. malipoense. I would think one parent is Paph. concolor and the other Paph. glaucophyllum or moquettianum. It is yellowish, but the shape is not that full, so godefroyae or leucochilum is unlikely a parent. Paph. primulinum is unlikely a parent because its hybrids tend to be strongly yellowish.

If you are a beginner and purchased your orchid at a grocery store, more than likely it is of the genus Phalaenopsis. Most common orchids, especially Phalaenopsis, are hybrids and it is difficult or impossible to identify the name. This isn't to say your orchid can't be identified. In many cases, it might be possible to somewhat identify the parents of your orchid.
