This is another seedling I bought from Little Frog at the Michiana Orchid Society show October 10/26/19. It is coming along nicely!

What's the cross?

Fumi's Delight x delenatii
I have one and it is crazy slow.
There might be some near blooming size plants available from Orchid Inn in the next couple of years since they were selling flasks not too long ago.

I will be interested in seeing the bloom. I have 2 that are much smaller

They were pretty good growers, my flask established well. Might have some blooming sized seedlings - I'm hoping it is delenatii easy and not the other parent... 
I think the one I got from Sam was made with the vinicolor delenatii.
Edit: I just noticed that Shariea's plant came from me... I guess at least one is blooming size!

Too funny, after reading this thread, I took a look around and I have two of these that appear to have sheaths forming. They are from Little Frog, but for the life of me I don't recall buying them. The cross is OIP0217, Fumi's Delight "Rainbow" x delenatii "Purple Delight". I also have a flask of these from Sam, but with different parents, OIS0232, delenatii var. vini "Crystal Purple" x Fumi's Delight "Zack". The seedlings from the flask are running about 2 years behind the ones from Little Frog. The odd thing is that the ones from the flask seem to generate a lot of stolons that like to grow vertically. I think keeping them in the pot will be a challenge. It may be basket time for these guys. Mike
This is the cross I have as well. I got several other seedlings from Little Frog at the same time, as did a friend of mine. Her Arnie is still quite small, but her P. helenae x sib is like a weed, and she had divided it already. My helenae x sib is still just 4 small leaves. Genetics!
It finally fully open today. I like it!
That's a nice flower.
I think delenatii washes out the yellow in a lot of its hybrids.

Could you give us some measurements in a few days when the flower has fully expanded? Thanks. Mike
I'll try. I have never measured a flower.
What a cute little white cream flower.
In this case, the wiping out of color by delenatii has a 'cool' advantage.

Nice solid round flower. Any fragrance?
Not so far
This is as good as the measuring gets. Sorry! More pictures though! It started opening on over 2 weeks ago (5/21), and these pictures were taken minutes ago.
Lovely flower....don't know what I like more the 'delenatii like' staminode or the 'micranthum like' balloon pouch ?
All in all, it was $10 well spent.
I can only echo Leslie and Rudolf (Guru) as (almost) always!
