One of my favorite color form of this species… I have had this plant for over 5-7 years but last couple years at DavidB who grew it magnificently to bloom this way:
One of my darkest purpuratas beautifully flowered by DaveB.
The lip is the darkest rubra type lip I have ever seen.
NS 15 cm.
Was passed at judging today because it needed more flowers. The average was 4-5 flowers per inflorescence. Next year then!
My plant is blooming it’s little heart out at my friend’s GH (David B.) with 6 flowers on two inflorescences (3 each).
Beautiful white lip (that unfortunately has red striations that technically rules it not concolor lol) and soft cotton candy pink. Slight orangey fragrance. NS 14 cm.
