It is so delicate-it could be hand painted porcelain.
Also, I love your blog.

This is a very desirable hybrid. I love the delicious colors and the form reminds me of plumerias....it should be fragrant by the way it is engineered by nature....

Exquisite! Do you know what number this one is? I have a MM pseudoglomeratum x cuthbertsonii cross, but my blooms are not like the ones you have pictured.
I have 2 different Mountain Magics and a Den. Illusion from mountain orchids currently. Still trying to rid them of persistent mites, and they're getting there.
what's your winter care like for these little Dens?

I believe it was #5, Beth. I have two plants and the blooms are identical. Would be interested in seeing what yours are like, especially since the colors are bound to be variable.
As to winter care, my care is pretty much the same year around - high light, daily watering, lighter fertilizer about every other watering and temps between 55 and 75 (lower end in the winter and higher in the summer).
