SVO without number. This came to me in June 2016, with its first seedling bloom. It waited to get a little bigger, then flowered last year and now.

It sent up the spike when I was out of town so I didn't get a chance to stake it. I was afraid to break it so I left it as is.

Flowers are about 7" / 17.6cm top to bottom. I'm looking forward to having this judged when the presentation is better and flower count is higher. I think I might get two spikes next year.

It was the most expensive orchid I'd bought at that time, $85, but I'm glad I did.

That was money well spent. It seems to be sticking its pouch out saying look at me.
