Unbelievably I got this beauty at a garden center. It was a Noid at first, but I went to the growers website, and lo and behold, it had a name!!
The first bloom opened last night, I'll post again once it's in full bloom. It has 2 spikes on it this year!
My camera had a bit of trouble with the colors. The bloom is a deeper purple and has less rust-red on the lip than in the pic.
Sorry it's somewhat fuzzy, it's getting really cloudy and the light is too low to take good shots without a tripod.
