Phal. Tying Shin Fly Eagle 'Wilson'

[jkofferdahl]

This one came from Peter Lin last August as an unbloomed seedling. This flower is on the slightly older of two spikes, the second of which is just beginning to bud. When I first saw Peter's photos of the flower I was fascinated by it but I mostly grow species and so almost passed. For a whole long day, in fact, which is monsterous for me! To my eye, the photos I've seen of this lovely bloom truly fail to do it justice (as does mine).
