I am beyond thrilled to receive an AM on my hangianum over the weekend at the Greater Akron Orchid Show. I decided on the clonal name 'Burnt Sugar' because the colors remind me of a creme brulee with a nice torched sugar top.

Congratulations! Any breeding plans with it?
Wow congrats! Always a nice surprise when the unexpected happens!
Mammoth is so jealous as he has no blooms this year, yet.

Congrats, Darlene. This beauty deserved the award beyond all doubt and what a appropriate clonal name.

A big congratulations. It would be an incredible thrill just to flower this species, let alone receive an AM award. How long have you been growing it?
Thanks all! Getting this awarded is the icing on the cake.
None yet. I have not done any breeding. Maybe in the future.
It was pulled but did not make the cut. I need to get the feedback from the judges. I was helping a friend at her booth.

It has been with me since 2016, when it was a small seedling.
Burnt Sugar may take some time off also. The next growth is pretty small.

Cross your hang and Fumi's Delight together! 
Wow well done.
Congrats!
Congratulations! It's a beauty for sure. Can you show us a close up picture of it too? I really like the name you chose for it, very fitting.
Such a stunning species, and such a stunningly good job of culture!
Do you consider it a difficult it a difficult specie?
More pics. would be greatly appreciated!

Here are some additional pictures. These are all after the wear and tear of the show. 
I might give that a try! The Fumi is strong enough to carry a pod.Cross your hang and Fumi's Delight together!
I don’t think it's difficult to grow. It is just extremely and painfully slow to grow.
Mine goes outside in the summer and receives a few hours of morning sun. It stays out until temperatures reliably dip into the 40s. In the winter I grow it under lights with the other parvis species. All are watered once or twice a week. For my condition, twice a week is the goal. This keeps them from drying out completely between waterings. The hangianum is in a micro climate where the temperatures go in to the high 50 at night.
I hate to repeat what others have already said but there is no better way to say it other than Congratulations. Love both the hangianum and the Fumi Delight. Do think you should try to cross them. I'd be interested in a flask if anything ever becomes of the crossing.
Congrats! Crème brûlée is always good 
very well done
Thanks all!
