Blc. Volcano Blue 'Volcano Queen'
This is one of the very few complex hybrids that I own. This is a first bloom from a seedling I bought at Akatsuka Orchids probably 4 years ago. I really like the delicate blue color that this plant has and I think Ill actually keep this one!! Most of my complex plants end up being given away because of my severe species/primary hybrid snobbery. Anywho, enjoy!

That's lovely, Steve!
I also prefer species but you can't ignore the beauty of something like this

Wow Steve, she's pretty! I posted mine a while back and the flowers were so crowded. Seeing yours gives me hope that mine will bloom a little better next time.
It's in buds again now, so not long to wait.

Steve...the blues are some of my favorites, and this guy is spectacular!
Oh, and if you ever change your mind about keeping this one...yeah right, like that's really going to happen...I know of a happy home for it in southwest Florida.
