violacea

A blue from the Norton line. Very fragrant. NS 4.2 cm I have a compot of these types from Ken Avant that are almost blooming size. Can’t wait as the parents were exceptional shapes.

This is one of my seedlings from Bela Vista’s breeding that bloomed at Orquidário Americana nursery in Brazil. The flamea coloration only on the petals make the contrast very striking. The shape is also very good with a flat lip that doesn’t curl much with age. Likely in a few years, the...

Love the color combo of this so I named it such. Good flat shape in sepals and petals but that curled lip is disturbing to me lolzzz. Blooming in Brazil at my buddy’s backyard.

My first indigo violacea to bloom in the hot (+32C) top shelf …. Few more in spikes … color is like blue African violets. Fragrant is like a strong sweet and spicy cinnamon sugar. It’s sequential so more buds over next month or two.

My ‘violaceas’ are in bloom, flourishing in semi-hydro (in constant water) in the hottest part of my growing area. Coerulea forma: I suspect this one above might be a Samera coerulea (violacea x bellina) due to the dark inner part of lower sepals, although I have seen color patterns like...

As yet un-named cross. The colour is very interesting through the indigo influence. A greyish brown-lavender with a bright indigo blue lip. The colour made me buy it last year. Almost 65% violacea and equal parts of amboinensis, lueddemaniana and venosa.
