Thanks, Jim! I thought the colour on this one was good. But I was amazed at how sparkly the flowers were.

Gor-ge-ous! 
I love that rusty color of the petals and sepals in contrast to the purple lip and the yellow column 
Excellent choice   |

Tin, you can definitely see the venosa influence in the flower shape. Here is a photo of a named 'Red Elf'
http://www.olympiaorchids.com/Stems/Red%20Elf.jpg
So my little plant is:
(Dor. pulcherrima x Phal. faciata) X Phal. venosa
As both faciata and venosa are supposed to have scent, I'm hoping that I will get some scent as well.... nothing at the moment though. |
