I really like this one. I would bet druyii is somewhere in the ancestry. Lovely.

:rollhappy::clap: I'm not sure what to expect with the name! Nice! :clap:

 

[SlipperFan]

That is one great complex!

 

[Ross]

How big is the flower?

 

[tenman]

Phenomenal, Ray!

 

[toddybear]

I like it!

 

[Ray]

The dorsal is 9.0 cm across, and the spread of the petals is 10.9.

I don't understand the name, either. It's a cross of Inca Harvest x Magic Mood, registered by Woodstream Orchids in 2008. Mine came from Hawaii.

Leo - it's got druryi in it, but 8 generations back.

Very nice, I'd love to have complex with that coloration.

I really like this one. I would bet druyii is somewhere in the ancestry. Lovely.

That was my first thought, too!

 

[Pete]

this was a really nice cross. Kalapana Tropicals here in Hawaii had a lot of them, i think they still do. some great stuff has bloomed out of that cross!

Very good flower, I just had to see it after seeing the name.....amazing name really.
