Rth. Pure Love 'Maplewood'
This is a Fred Clarke hybrid. I found mine on the sales table of Fishing Creek Orchids at a SEPOS show 3 years ago.
When it bloomed in August, I took it to AOS judging, where it received an AM/AOS (83 pts). First photo is from that blooming.
It is in bloom again now (2nd photo). Notice how much darker the flower is with the cooler temperature in the greenhouse. The shape has also improved, so it would probably score a few points more if I brought it in now.
