Wowza! I don't think that's an actual word, but it's the first thing that came to my mind. Seriously, Paul, that's beautiful!

Like the spotting. Very nice. What is the size of the flower, please?

Wow that is a gorgeous cross!  On to my wishlist it goes! I looked up the parentage to see where the spots are coming from, and I guess I wasn't too surprised to see C. aclandiae. Is it fragrant like C. aclandiae?
This isn't really a primary hybrid, as one of the parents is a (primary) hybrid. I don't know if there's a term for a primary hybrid which has been back-crossed.

Approx 4" (10cm) across.

It is fragrant (not usually strongly so) but it has been far too long since I last sniffed an aclandiae to make any sort of fragrance comparison.

I believe it is still considered a primary as there are only two species involved, Cam. But if you should find out differently, do let us know!

Beautiful!
Probably would have taken fewer words to spell out the name in the title and then just post pics :-P

If people search for this by name they won't find it. Search doesn't extend to photo text. Perhaps you would consider editing your original message to include the plant's name? |

It is really beautiful. I really love C. aclandiae but pink makes the flowers even better! I think I need one!
Does this stay small like the C. aclandiae or is it a larger orchid? Does it also bloom multiple times a year?

Hmm, now you make me doubt, and you may be right. I tried looking it up, but not much info.
