Blc. Hawaiian Leopard 'Mei Ling' AM/AOS

[Call_Me_Bob]

this one had two buds, but one broke off in a storm :\ luckily there is another growth that still have 2 buds maturing! as with the P. Angdi Kolopaking, i shouldve photographed this one before pollinating it, because the form is a little less then what it was pre-pollination. this one is but heavier spotted and a darker orange and red color then last year! the size and form is improved as well! the natural spread this year is 12cm!! although i had three flowers on the single spike last year, this year i only have 2 flowers (counting the knocked off bud) per spike. but i have two spikes! i pollinated it with pollen from L. Santa Barbara Sunset 'Showtime' AM/AOS.
