I finally found one of these guys. I have searched everywhere, but nobody sells them anymore. I asked the person I bought it from why it is not too common anymore and he told me that hybrids has surpassed this primary. That people have created "prettier" hybrids. In my opinion, this is one of the prettiest hybrids ever and I am a sucker for anything that has a frilly lip and is crossed with Digbyana. This plant was taken from a pro tray of about 75(I believe thats what the seller said) and put into a pot right before being shipped to me. This was the biggest plant in the pro tray and I would think that the plant was busting the tray because it is so big. I want to mount it on a slab of cork bark, but don't have any at the moment and all of the local nurseries charge an arm and a leg for a piece. Anyways, now all I have to do is wait for it to bloom. Hopefully it will bloom on the next growth that should be emerging any day now. Here are some pictures of my long awaited beauty in all of it gloriousness.
