Iris,
I am an avid Paphiopedilum grower, not a hybridizer, but
your question on whether or not you should cross Paph.
Limelight (Maudiae x Chiara) by Paph. venustum intrigued me. A search
of OrchidWiz does not show the hybrid has been registered. Since you
described Limelight as resembling a large tetraploid Maudiae, I searched
OrchidWiz and found that Paph. (Maudiae x venustum) was registered in 1943 as
Paph Mauven. A Google "Picture" search brought up a picture of Paph.
Mauven from www.lonestarorchids.com and this
might help you in making your decision.
Note: Paph (Chiara x venustum) is registered as Paph. Tillie Boulter, but I
could not locate an image of the hybrid.
Good luck.
