Thanks, everyone. The color is accurate, and the scent is really luscious. Like very expensive perfume - there, but subtle and rich.
Don Perusse, I've been wondering about the flowers interfering with each other on this one and others. Can you be more specific about how you separate them? When do you do it? Have you lost any buds?

Absolutely gorgeous Amy! I don't usually like floofy orchids but I think my Chia Lin 'New City' needs some company.  This will definitely fit the bill!! |

Amy - I'll try to explain the best I can. I buy 17 guage aluminuim electric fence wire, pic below. (as it is easy to bend in desired shape) Cut piece of wire bend both ends into U shape then place at base of flowers that are touching to spread them apart. See photo below. No I have never lost any buds as I wait until flowers open being careful not to break flowers off. Hope this helps you understand what I do. This pic. of the orchids did not need spacers but I put on on just to show what I do. Don
