Here's a fine example of this variety with broad petals. Unfortunately the second bud dropped after being severely attacked by a slug, which is now resting in peace in the slug heaven

Interesting you saying that, Carrie, because the other day I was looking at my orchids in bloom and thinking the same thing!!

Beautiful, Mauro! And at least you can say that your slug had exquisite taste. :-)

Man, I was really mad at that slug because this week end our society's orchid show is taking place in comemoration of the 455th aniversary of our city and I was counting on those flowers... No way, I had to kill it!!
