The flowers of this one have been seen on OrchidBoard before.

Time for more pics to share with everybody. The buds only started to open yesterday. The flowers aren't quite fully open yet - as can be seen. Getting there though.

The greeny-yellow (chartreuse) colour will refresh us hehehe.

I popped these following pics in the photography section the day before, but can share them here too - as the flower just beginning to open is quite nice to see too.

This may have been spotted already ----- but just pointing out one feature about the ends of the petals.

It is true what they say about 'splash petals' - where some lip features (eg. colour and shape) shows up in the petals - due to mutation or something.

The term describing lip color mimicked in the the petals is "peloric". This can occur to varying degrees... as a "splash" at the tips of the petals as shown here, or also sometimes showing a structural variation (like more dominant mid-rib and more coloration) as well. Sometimes the peloric pattern is so strong that the flower looks like it has three lips. Here, it is subtle.

Thanks for your wonderful comments Diane! Absolutely appreciated.

And thanks to all the other fans of orchids as well for coming in to see and enjoy the pics.

Tomorrow - maybe with the flowers fully expanded out (lip and petals and all) and maybe fully coloured-up ------ I'll take a couple of pics to share too.
