Very nice flower. Definitely a keeper. FYI, there is one in the photo section of the last Orchids magazine. It had an AM of 83 points and the color was more intense, but your shape is much better. Don't know about the size. Mike

I was actually comparing the two. They are siblings from SVO. The color is darker but the photo may have it more intense by using a black background. Also note that it just has one color, from light to dark pink, more delanatii. Pouch is one color. So it has its own beauty.

This clone has markings from malipoense, color is like two tone and staminode has three colors, the green really stands out in person and the size is huge with respect to the overall size of the flower. My wife says it looks like a big button stuck in the middle. Funny description. I will measure the petals tonight, I think Tony is checking it with the other awardee.

Oh I don't need to check; I have already decided that it's superior. I showed it to a few judges as well. We all agree that it's an easy AM.
The ones on the books mostly look like someone took a good Magic Lantern and made it bigger at the expense of form by adding malipoense. Yours looks like someone took a good Lynleigh Koopowitz and made it better by adding micranthum.

It is a nice one. The ones I've seen are more pastel. Is that right?

Yeah, all the ones I've seen were nearly white.
This one is definitely unique!
