Please excuse the poor quality of the pics, this plant sits kind of high on my rock wall and it was raining, so I just snapped a few pics and ran away! lol This is a great hybrid and is probably the closest thing I have seen to an orchid blooming true blue. Unfortunately, this year the buds came out kind of bunched together like you see. Usually they are better spaced. |

Very pretty. Are they scented, and is that a fruiting epiphyllum/dragon fruit in the background?

I just measured them and the flowers are just barely less than 4" across. I would say they are a medium sized Catt flower. |

Yep. I got this one from Akatsuka in 2003 or 2004 as a seedling. One of the most interesting nurseries I've ever been to. Its in the Hawaiian cloud forest so they can grow cool growing stuff as well. |
