Nice vini. You have to showcase the foliage on this one.

Interesting, I dont recall ever seeing the dark edge on the dorsal like that before! Where did it come from?

Well you know the the bud is really dark when it emerges from the plant. So the back side of the dorsal and synsepal retain the color. That is what is visible in the PIC.
One other thing to add, the dorsal has stayed relatively flat for a dunkel. There is a slight reflexing back but not distracting so.

Both photographs are much better than what I could have done. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice delenatii Rick. I like those flat petals a lot.

Delenatii is climbing very fast in my wishlist due to all of them I´ve seen this year in ST.

Thanks for sharing!

Great bloom on a very well grown plant. Looks special!

Thanks for the info. I'll have to keep an eye on his eBay auctions.

I see where Doug has a dunkel (vinicolor) list on ebay now. It maybe the only one currently listed.
