Oh Boy!!!!

It looks great and super healthy. Yours looks more blue than mine. Mine has dark purple blooms with white picotee!

Yours is so lovely! It's a great one to add to your orchidarium!

Hi gmdiaz, did you bid on this orchid on e-bay? I know the color is a bit different looking at it versus the

. But your description is totally different????

Can you post a

of yours?

We can compare colors that way. It doesn't sound like the same orchid

Gwen they do look alike. I think when I took the photo I took it while it was in the orchidarium. But the color is identical. Did you just recieve yours? It seems like weeks since I bid on mine. I had been checking the mailbox everyday which normally I don't do as it is not close to the house. I have to drive to the mailbox so I pick up mail every other day or so.

Yours looks good too I am really liking the mini's since I am limited in space

I bought my back in October 2007. . .this is it's first bloom.

Mine had a rough start. . .just now really have a good growing space for it. And it's taking off with lots of growth and more buds developing.

I LOVE the mini size of it!!!!!

P.S. I have to drive a mile to my mailbox, so I have all my orchid goodies delivered to work. he he he

Mine is right there in my avatar

That photo is a little washed out so the blooms are a bit darker ..
I love the picotee edge also and the lip
