An old plant, starting to clump nicely

Obviously you treat it very well and the plant thanks with these lovely flowers - congrats.

I just got a hybrid with helenae. I can really see it dominate in your photo. What is your culture?

Nothing special, under fluo lights all year, intermediate conditions, small Orchiata bark not repotted for almost 5 years, small pot (4" diameter I think) but taller than regular pots (it's a tea mug in fact). I bought it as a seedling out of flask in 2009...

Great flower with color. Does the right petal always face down?

You made me look at previous bloom pictures and yes it does! And more often than not both do face down.
