Mauro, what lighting do you give your purpurata 'chids?
Susanne, from May to September I cut 50% and from October to April, when the light intensity is high, I cut 60%. However, the sides of my grh are kept with shade cloth cutting 50%. My purpuratas are grown near the sides where they can receive good light.
That one is so quietly elegant to me. Must be sad to see the last one for the season.

Yes... but, you know, the cool thing is that sooner or later they all are going to be here again! BTW, I really like the way you look at orchids and put them in words! Bravo!
