I can remember catalogs back in the early 1960's having this. There is a colour pic also. Had a few seedlings from it back then. No idea what they were like now.

This is a very difficult flower to photograph with a DSLR, especially when using studio fluorescent bulbs. Color balance and rendering of the purple were a battle, and still the flower color isn't accurate. Oh well! You get the idea.
I've waited forty years to grow this, remembering it from magazines and catalogs from the early 1970s when I was a teenager. Last year I acquired a division from Waldor, and here we are! |
Stunning plant which is typical of Waldor orchids.Walter Off passed away sev. wks ago so remembering him as you grow this beauty will keep his memory alive. |

Stunning. How fun it must be to have waited this long for such a beautiful bloom.
