Yes, Terri, this is from an orchid nursery that is 10 minutes away from me. They specialise in Paphs and Phrags, but have some other things that I keep a look out for. This was in limited quantities, so I snapped it up!!

Thanks guys! I love it that the lip is so purple... I hope you are right about the scent. I thought there was a good chance it would be. I'll just have to keep checking.

Here's another photo to give some size comparison. This is Tony, next to his cousin (an unnamed cross of Sogo Lisa X Taisuco Firebird). Little Lisa is starting to fade now, and more veining and more pink is showing through, but see below when the flowers were fresh!
