I love this one Steve! I like the strange and different ones too.  That's a color combo that you don't see that often and that's whats makes it even more special. I also think it would make a great project #6 plant. I would LOVE to have it!  |

Wow, seems like everyone really likes the atroviolaceum for the next project. Its good because you can get regular sizes and miniature sizes as well. Since I have it already and its blooming, does that mean I have to get another one that is NBS if I were to participate?  Just curious. Ive never done a project. |

Steve - not to worry - participants will create lists of many orchids which will be, through process of elimination, whittled down to, if I can remember correctly, about 10 to vote from .. At this point, we are a long way off from determining which orchid will be chosen but it seems Den. atroviolaceum is a starting favorite  |

That's an awesome plant. I like the flowers of latouriates a lot as well, and hopefully, I'll get some in my collection.  |

It sure is pretty, Steve. A good reason to grow the species!
These plants also bloom repeatedly from the same point, so the older, leafless canes can flower, too.
