Hi Steve. I am not sure where I got my plant from. It was probably from a backyard grower who was willing to share a keiki. My plant is several years old so it goes back some years. I see this plant displayed at orchid shows so I know there are other growers who have the plant. If I find a source I'll let you know.

I displayed this plant at the Kunia Orchid Society Show this afternoon. I was pleased to learn that the judges selected the plant as the Best Nobile orchid in the Show. The rest of the buds opened up so the plant was in full bloom. Most of the older flowers really held up well after being in bloom for nearly two weeks.

Your plant at the show was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the award, it is well deserved! I tried to find one of these for sale but was unsuccessful. If you happen to remember where you got it or get a keiki that you would be willing to sell, let me know. Congratulations again on your award!

Hi Steve. Thanks for your congratulatory remarks. I found a keiki hidden in my collection that must have come from the plant that I have on display. It's in a 2-inch clay pot so the keiki is fairly young. Amazingly, the keiki has some buds on it. You can have the keiki. I'll email you and arrange for a time and place to meet.
