I love P. equestris, I have a P. Be Tris and it has P. equestris as a parent. When I take it to the shows we have in Central Florida, it usually gets recognized quite often.

Nice flowers.
Gin let me know what headline you want for the thread, I'll change it for you. That way we can avoid future confusion.

Gin, is the violacea from one of the Ooi progeny? In the rush of line-breeding for a true blue or indigo violacea from the plants of Malaysian grower Michael Ooi, some pure saturated maroon violaceas have bloomed that would curl your toes!
All the focus, unfortunately, is on hunting that rare, recessive blue and the maroons or violets are often overlooked. From amongst these crosses, the rare pure white one also blooms out. I've read about it, but haven't seen a photo.
Krull-Smith, and H.P. Norton of OrchidView are two such breeders in the U.S.
It's a beauty, whatever it's background!
