Nearly four flowers open now. Two and two. Four more to come.
 
Thank you all! I like the clearly striped dorsal, no mush. The flowers are still increasing in size , from top of the dorsal to the tips of sepals it meassures about 20cm now. That is pretty good I think!
The petals in fact are darker as on the pic; it is quite difficult to get the right light, most parts of the flower are glossy and give strong reflections.

I'll try again when there'll be six flowers!:wink:

Six flowers now (2X3) and still two or three to come. It is a awesome plant, I'm so happy with it!

Eight flowers and still one bud. Watching it waving in the breeze is really mesmerizing.
 
Unbelievably beautiful. I would sit in the greenhouse all day, watching it waft in the breeze, -- with a bottle of good red wine!!!!!

Oh my goodredwine! It is flowering since 17.03., that makes 42 days now, and yet another case of orchidoholics! Should change the clonal name into 'Anonymous' perhaps!!
But yes, it is a very delightful plant, and one of the spikes will have 5 flowers; for a first flowering that is really good. Difficult to photograph though, the flowers are 18cm high but not compact at all. If you chose to show the whole flower, you fail to see the gorgeous details of the staminode and vice versa.

There will be a fifth flower on one of the spikes:

All flowers still perfect - a real show.
 
:clap:So Nice!!!!!!!
And the photographs are wonderful! Makes me want to keep coming back and look again!
 
Well, after three months, the flowers begin to wilt. Last chance to take pictures:
