Den Pixie Charm
Low and behold, basically overnight, four of this guy's ten buds opened up. A delightful sight to wake up to this morning!
I can't take any credit, as I purchased this one a few weeks ago on my visit to the NY Botanic Gardens. But, what a cutie.

Yeah, the lip is gorgeous. Here's a close-up...
I only wish the majority of the blooms weren't upside-down!

The flowering habit is inherited from the Den. unicum parent. I find it interesting that the orange color from Den. unicum appears to be recessive.

You mean the upside-down blooms? 
They are a lot closer in color to the Yellow Chinsai parent, but do have a slight orange tint. I don't think my photos do the coloring justice. The veining in the lip is a bit of a brighter fuchsia than shows in my pics. |

Boy, what a coincidence.....I was at our reg orchid society meeting last night and saw the Den. Unicum for the first time. More orange than yours as stated but was really fancinated with the lip. Very unusual. Nice show. Like the yellow in yours better as orange is not my favorite color.

Yes, the non-resupinate blooming habit....Den. unicum can actually bloom with the lip above or below or even sideways. |
