Cool looking Mormodes! It seems that these flowers are a little smaller than the typical Mormodes. Is this true?

Steve, the flowers are approximately 1.8 in (4.5 cm), which is about “normal” size for the species. But generally, yes, they are a bit smaller, but not much. There are quite a number of species with even smaller flowers.

Very nice, I totally disagree with Jan, those flowers are spectacular, specially for the contrast between the purple dots over the white background.

Oh Wow, I love this one. Those blooms are so graceful and beautiful, love the colors and spotting. I have a Phal with the exact pattern but nothing quite as lovely as this.

Beeeeeeautiful!
