Very nice! It's a bit hard to tell from the photo, 4 stems or 5? How many flowers are typical per stem?

That's an uncommon hybrid for sure. I like it. I don't know that I like it quite as much as an equivalent cross with almost any other of philli's close relatives, so that the lip color would be darker, redder, and more pronounced.
But, given that, it's really pretty and impeccably grown.

The stems are 4 and usually carries 2 flowers each, this year one of them has developed a third flower and makes me very habby...I have no idea what is the standard number per stem of this cross....

I hadn't noticed the first time I looked at it but the foliage looks very nice, too. It looks like it picked up some of the lawrenceanum in the leaves as well as the flower. I like this a lot.
