A few days ago I broke the tip of a spike when watering. It's a loss of, at least, 3 flowers.
As it has now two spikes growing, I hope to have, at least, 10 flowers.
But it's not a new plant, I have it for almost 5 years and it was not small when I got it.
They are faint but I think they are very similar to the ones bellow. These are from one that I have, sold as cambria but, after exhaustive investigation I'm almost certain (not 100%, obviously) that it's a Miltassia Dark Star "Darth Vader".
Wow, what a nice plant, lots of blooms! It does look like Dark Star, except for those spots on the lip. That and the type of markings on the petals makes me think it looks more like a Beallara. So I did some searching, and found Beallara Peggy Ruth Carpenter 'Jem' . I didn't know that this hybrid has such a dark cultivar, I'm only familiar with the standard light purple version of it.

Well, it also look like the one you've mentioned but, as I said, I'm not 100% sure (and won't be).
The cultivation is the same for both hybrids so I can't use it as a reference.
And Dark Star also has spots on the lip.
