Dtps. The Pride of Ben Yu 'Ben Yu'
I like this plant with its very attractive flowers. The rose pink flowers look like they were feather brushed white at the edges. The plant has 21 flowers on one branching inflorescence. The flowers are large with a natural horizontal spread of 3-3/4 inches. The flowers are very firm and lasts for several weeks. The plant is robust and very easy to grow.

I liked it enough to buy one--and it just won a blue ribbon at our local OS. Mine only had about twelve flowers, though...Great growing and gorgeous picture!  |

Congratulations on your ribbon. This plant when grown well will always be in the running for a trophy or ribbon at shows. It has a very good habit of throwing out branching flower spikes that cascade beautifully. The presentation is outstanding. The flowers seem to last longer than most Phalaenopsis.

HawaiianSunshine, you really have a great collection of splash and harlequin orchids. They are all grown and photographed beautifully.
