Excellent coloration. And your plant is impressive as well.

Subrosa is right, cut back watering ASAP. The new leaves that are growing will just sit on top of small p-bulbs that didn't reach their maximum size. Without a hard dry period, this species won't bloom.

Thanks for your useful comment (also Orchid killer). While both species are closely related, it looks indeed more like anfracta- if anfracta is considered to be a valid species.

What lovely egg yolk color! Congrats! My wardii grows and grows and rarely bloom. Never knew about a dry period! So will start now and see!
