I think the parentage of this plant should be Paph. niveum x primulinum.
Bill
Don't think so Bill
If it was just Paphiopedilum primulinum it would be white, the Paphiopedilum primulinum var. purpurascens is what makes this one pink
to the best of my knowledge.
This was explained to me by someone who grows a lot of Paphs and studies their heritage quite closely. (not the grower)

Horse to water
Anton old buddy, have you heard the expression "you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink"
What I am on about is what you have written above as the parentage is the problem,
"Parentage : flavescens x niveum 'Big Girl'"
Phal. flavescens doesn't exist, all you have to do is fix the parentage part, your other info is good.
Bill
Watered horse
Sorry Bill, I got bad info again.
All fixed now.
