Default Dtps. Fire Cracker ‘Blue Martini’

Here's a photo of my summer blooming Dtps. Fire Cracker ‘Blue Martini’. I hadn't realized it was a summer bloomer when I got it last winter, and was disappointed when it hadn't bloomed then. Needless to say, I was so surprised to see a spike emerging about 6 weeks ago...and it's finally putting on a show.

I really love the color! It's such a nice pastel purple color. Seeing the spike must have been a very nice surprise for you!

Roly - if you are interested in this one - you might want to contact Sapphire Dragon Orchids - Sapphire Dragon Orchids - Photo Gallery
I don't see it available on the site but it is in their gallery .. they might have a few off to the side
Norman's or Orchid.com has it also - ORCHIDS.COM : SHOP : : SEARCH RESULTS although this vendor has mixed reviews
