Default Lc. Mem Robert Straight 'Islander Delight'

I bought this guy as a seedling a while back and it is finally blooming!!! Some of the pics make the lip look more red than in real life. The pink color and white is all there is with this one. Its got a light "Catt" scent with a little bit of spiciness. I was really surprised to see flowers today as I did not know this one was spiking! I had put it back in some bushes on some rocks a few months ago and now its blooming!! Whew hoo!!

Nice lip and beautiful marking on petal/sepals. I saw one at a show recently that was marked similiar but more blue. Very nice!
