This is a magnificent show of blooms!
Chryss...the leaves must have a lot of black spottings that it catches attention and takes away from the beauty of the flowers...they trim it for aesthetics...
Hopefully the plant will produce more healthy leaves if properly cared for.

Figured that, just wanted to verify. Wondering what AOS judges like better, as I know they can be fussy about "leaf issues".

Thanks guys,I don't have to answer your question Chryss because Bud did and I am not going to judge it so I don't worry,it doesn't harm the orchid to cut the ends.

I love the dark red color on this one. Great spike staking too.
