Thank you all for the kind words. This is a very tall and stately plant and the spikes stand up well above the foliage. I have many coerulea cattleyas, but I would say this particular plant is the closest shade of coerulea to blue that I have.

I wonder if anyone has tried watering with food coloring to enhance the blue in these (like they do for phals now).

You know, I have never heard of anyone trying that! Of course it would not be permanent which is what we are trying to get.

While you're at it, maybe put tape on the back of the petals/sepals to address the reflexing
