I also like the second one, but all these pictures came out yellower than they are, and the proportions of the pouch came out slightly weird. I don't know why.
The color of the second one must be seen in person. It is such a nice soft green. I just wish the dorsal opened up more, but it's been almost three weeks now and it will not happen. oh, well...It is a good grower and I will keep it for another season.
No, almost all of them are bought in bud and some are bought in bloom.
As commonly available these are around this time of the year here, and as much as I would like to know what the open bloom looks like, these get snatched up fast at stores that have these.
So I mostly just buy them in tight bud knowing that most will be crappy.
I would love to get flasks to increase my chance of getting more of decent ones, but I have not yet done it.
I am considering buying divisions of nice clones though. maybe one each year. They tend to be quite pricy.
The thing is sometimes the quality of flowers on these plants change quite a bit. so the ones I like now may bloom out crappy next year and the ones I don't like so much might improve in the future.
The spotted one is a bad example. It was so much better. and I have one that blooms different every time and I have no idea what to do with it.
So it is making it rather difficult to decide which ones to toss now.

I don't like the shape of the last one but I love the color!
