Phrag besseae
Picked this up, in bud, at the WOC this week.
First bloom opened today 
The bud above it actually has two buds in there...is that the norm?  |

Stinker! I've had one for a year now...three growths and still no bloom. They are sequential so two buds is good!

Beautiful, Sue. 
What is the full name of it? I have a 'Neon Fire' seedling that will be close to that color one day.
How many orchids did you come home with from the WOC?

Wow!!
17??
That's awesome!
Could your husband talk to my wife about how important our work with orchids is to the envoronment?? 
Actually, my wife is pretty tolerant, but I only have 24 orchids so far. With all the shows coming up this spring, I'm sure that number will increase quickly, so we'll see what happens then. 
What else did you pick up besides the Bessae?
Chris

Sue,
Having multiple blooms on Phrag besseae isn't unusual especially with more mature plants. Some of mine have produced around a dozen flowers sequentially with branching.
