Wilsonara Calico Gem "Green Valley"
Good sized flowers (nearly 3 in across) on a petite plant (barely 8 in tall).
I hope this plant is not one of those cool growing intergeneric orchids.
I like the tall arching spikes with lots of big flowers on such small plants.
One interesting thing about this plant is the color change of flowers. Lip is yellow and the center of the flowers are white when first open, then in a day or two, the whole thing turn light pink just like the rest of the flower.
I like them all pink, but would have liked it even more if the lip stayed yellow.
I tried to capture this difference in picturs but didn't come out too good. you can still sort of see the difference in last two pictures below.
