Very nice plant Dave. Do you know the vendor in which you purchased this beauty? I might have to get one for myself. Again, that is just a GREAT find.

Tindo, the plant is at the most 7" from leaf tip to tip. They are narrower than your typical 'fatty' Phalaenopsis leaf.
Zach,
I purchased this one from Paramount Orchids in Calgary, AB

Wow, that is absolutely ravishing. Is the bluish color true, or is the color more magenta?
Either way, blue or magenta, that intense, saturated color. Just gorgeous.
You have stimulated my envy . It's going right on my list of must haves.

I love it! I think I need to have that one. That has to be the most beautiful color ever.
