This is a very old cross registered more than 50 years ago. I was given a keiki of the plant by old time orchid grower and hybridizer Francis Aisaka more than 30 years ago. The original plant was given a Judges' Commendation (JC) by the American Orchid Society in 1968. This is not a very easy plant to grow.

Beautiful!! Looks like the purple was airbrushed on. What is it that makes this plant hard to grow?

That is so beautiful that it looks more like a painting than a photo. It must be unbelievable in person.

Thank you for the compliments. I think age has caught up with this plant. It is very slow growing and not often does it throw out a spray of flowers like that shown in the photo.
