I have to say I absolutely love that bright purple lining of the lip.

Could be because it is one. That purple is even more outstanding IRL, and it's too bad, but the spots are also purple, but you can't tell looking at the photos.

Oh, and it's fragrant too!

Mine, which has about 11 bulbs (most of them are smaller than the new ones, though), stands in a 3.1" (8 cm) pot, and the plant is about 4.7" high (12 cm). I doubt it'll get that much bigger. Now, go and get one!

Oh wow! Awesome lol. Number one on my must have list as of now.

And a last photo of the three flowers fully opened. I also detected a faint fragrance today, it smells of vanilla. :blush:

Thank you, but unfortunately I can't take any credit for the growing of it, since I've only had it since this summer.
