The underside shot of that lip -- it's really cool looking. I'm also fascinated by how different this cross comes out compared to Armeni White.

 

[Happypaphy7]

It's interesting how vietnamense gene allow the yellow pigment shine through unlike delenatii in Armeni White.

Or? does it stay yellow? I guess so given the name of the cross?
I would like to know how long the flowers last since vietnamense has a reputation for short lived flowers.

I wish this cross was more widely available.

Thanks for posting this. I don't think I have ever seen any of these for sale. The flower is interesting and attractive. Mike

Nice. I got a small one and promptly killed it. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know how long the bloom lasts also. At least it is a multi.

 

[Ozpaph]

I thought it would be white/pale, too.

The two blooms are open :

 

[mrhappyrotter]

Very cool. So the flowers do eventually fade quite a bit. I was thinking they hold more of the yellow. I still like it more than a pure white ArmeniWhite, and I really like the undulating edges of the sepals and petals.

 

[Happypaphy7]

I love it!!!

I find it interesting that the flower on the secondary spike bloomed before the primary flower. I don't think I've seen this happen before. Nevertheless, a nice cross and I particularly like the flower with the wavier petals.

 

[Happypaphy7]

Didn't notice that.
Great observation and I haven't see it happen before, either.

Good colors :

The bottom flower looks sort of like phrag.
