I agree with Kim. Those are beautiful, Steve. And since I don't exhibit my plants and very few orchid shows are held around here, I haven't had an opportunity to develop a discriminating taste (sounds nicer than "acquired prejudice") regarding what is and isn't a quality bloom. Do the flowers of this species produce any fragrance?

No fragrance that Ive been able to detect. I also like the term discriminating taste rather than "acquired predjudice!" lol Though, I think both terms fit equally well! lol The reason I mentioned the "imperfect form" of this plant was not so much about the natural imperfections that make each flower unique, but rather the degree to which it was present! Literally, there are flowers where one half bends forward, and the other side backwards and weird stuff like that! Adding some water definitely helped though.
