Frilly Doris AKA Pollen Flinger
I could not be more pleased with my Frilly Doris, it is far more showy than I expected. Very, very fun orchid....
My only complaint is that Doris is a pollen shooter if you poke the flowers. I was inspecting them last night and must have triggered one of the blooms. Not going to lie, it scared the $%& out of me. My Doris is a dude with some uncouth habits.
No idea on the scent of this one. After the pollen shooting incident I've decided not to put my face near it.
I included some dark pics because I like the drama/colors. All taken with phone, so there is a little blur :/

you do know the flower dies after you trigger the pollen caps?
yes stay away from them if you want the flowers to last

Yes, I figured the flowers would fade fast if the triggers are hit. I'd rather not get assaulted with pollen anyway.
