That's a beauty! Wow, several years???? I just started growing orchids last fall. I have bought several very young plants...thinking they would bloom within a year's time. Guess I better think again! Good lesson to be learned....patience! Thank goodness I have a couple bloomers to tide me over. Nice pics...and thanks for sharing how long it took. Nice to know these facts. I'm learning-slow but sure!  Kiki-do

Truly royal. The sheer elegance is enough to make me want one. This is a true beauty! Is it really that dark or the photo effects?

Good growing. Looks like you are a window grower too. I know what a challenge that can be!
