As always, they evoke thoughts of food.. here, 1980s bubble gum. Outrageous colors and flavors

DC !!!!!!! Your description of orchid flowers always hits the jackpot!!!!!!! I knew I seen those patterns from somewhere before hahaha. Bubble gum ...... some sorts of the white colored ball bubble gum with pink/purply specks!!!!!!!!!! I can sense the flavour already! Nice one!!!!

DC !!!! found something like it ..... but also recall bluish speckled/mottled gum balls too. Once again - excellent call on the bubble gum look!

Dulcinea ..... you guys and girls are so lucky! I had been searching for a particular one --- Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown 'Sweet Afton' ..... searching in Australia for years and years and years and years and ..... and it was only this year I finally managed to find a real-deal one. A nice long journey hehehe

In USA (where you live) and Canada and maybe Japan and Brazil ...... it is apparently sold by some nurseries!

One other nice thing about Rlc. Memoria Helen Brown type orchids is that their flower spikes are always produced without any sheath. And the buds (if the bulb is going to have any) will usually be seen very early. Not much waiting at all!
