Hi Des,
The color in this guy is outstanding! 
I really appreciate you sharing this with us, as I can not bloom these guys where I live...it's just too hot.  |

Beautiful color. Thanks for the pic. Did you save all 25 seedlings? How about sending some across the pond? LOL

Khan Flame x Fairwall 'Dural' #2
What I find so interesting about this seedling is that Khan Flame is red, Fairwall "Dural is yellow .
Take a close look at how the orange "Look" is obtained by thousands of red dots on a yellow background.This can be quite clearly seen if you enlarge the photo.So it fools the eye into seeing it as orange!!

Cool colour. I like the way it's red on yellow and fools the eye like that. It's really stunning  |

The flask was bought at one of the Australian shows and had the prefix SH on it so I think it was Shenandoah orchids.. do you know them ? |
