Ramon, does this one vary from plant to plant? I've seen it for sale online on several sites, but the color falls pitiously short of yours. They might be early blooms that haven't developed the full color, like your first and second blooms, but I don't want to order it if it never develops that color. Where did you get yours?

I applaud you Ramon!

Evan, to be honest, I have no idea.. this is the only plant I have seen in real life... I bought a 1YTB plant, but it died due to an unknown infection within one week, and the nursery replace it with a division (the plant I have now). I've got it from Germany (Schwerter Orchideen)

Ramón,
About a year ago I got a seedling of this plant. It now has 2 new growths and 3 or 4 older pseudob's. So it is still a rather small plant. How large was your plant when it began flowering? After seeing your pics, mine is staying with me, too!

Biker, my plant was a division with 5 "old" PBs. It bloomed on the new PB, and does it every year this way ;9

Thanks Ramon. I think I still might keep this one on my wishlist. But I think if I do order it I'll try one of the more local sources first, just to make things easier (and cheaper!)

Simply stunning Ramon. I love it. I have the plant but it has never bloomed yet. I hope it is as nice as yours.
