Arron ----- thanks for sharing those excellent pics of your purpurata and the hybrid. Both look fantastic. The dash of pink in the petals is a very nice feature. The various shapes and individuality is incredibly nice.
The purple lip in your pics really catches the eye. Absolutely loving the trumpet/tube shape of the lip too in these sorts of orchids. And also the nice petal shapes!
Thanks for mentioning AON too! I purchased some juvenile Den. Flinders 'Green Grub' from them on ebay. Not sure if that will flower up here in NQ. But that's ok ------ they're at least growing just fine here. I bought a Den. Australian Artist from them too ----- no particular cultivar though. Growing just fine here too ----- may not flower though, as I think (maybe) they require some long time cooling or something for flowering. But even then --- mine are just juveniles haha.
Thanks for your post again Arron! Beautiful flowers seen in your photos.
