I came home today to see THIS! It's not completely opened but I just couldn't resist sharing :blushing: Right now the flower is about 4" across...I can't wait to see it fully opened!

Gorgeous! Awesome lip. Nice after-work surprise.

Love the color contrast! :clap: Good job! :cheer:

oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh prettttttyyyyyy :drool:

:shock: It's Lovely! :clap:
Love the color combo :nod::Tup:
And Oh, that lip! :o
Where Oh where did you get this one!

yes that lip is awsome

Awesome...Can't wait to see what the lip looks like after it unfolds completely!
Great job growing!

This show stopper came from a dealer that is just up the street from the house...Green Earth Landscaping. The grower is Thomas Aaron. He got it from Owen Holmes @ Carter and Holmes....

UPDATE!! Fully opened!
 

So this morning's show was even more delightful. My DH took it down into his "studio" and took some proper pictures...I am so thrilled with this. And what's more, there's another sheath emerging!!!

Yeah!! That is amazing! Wow.

Boy, that one will get your attention! Great going.

Way to go, Dana! :yikes:

A place like that right down the street? Oh no!!! :faint:

Tell me about it...it wouldn't be so bad if it weren't RIGHT ON THE WAY TO THE GROCERY STORE!

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!

They are totally gorgeous!!!

:love: irphrog that is gorgeous!

congrats :clap:

'Newberry', along with 'VI Galaxy' are two of the best clones that came out of this cross, in my opinion! The flowers have enough substance to hold petals and sepals well positioned, the color is great, the lips unique in their own way! And, the best thing, they have the potential of giving 4 or 5, of these large flowers per stem!

Wonderful photo of a beautiful blossom, Congrats!

I just love this one, can't say enough about it - its a no fuss, strong grower with large gorgeous scented flowers.

Mines in bud right now, I always look so forward to these blooms.

:D

Oh that is sooo gorgeous! Orchids are a disease. :drool:

Great suprise today...there are THREE more sheaths!!!!! How cool!!!

I am in LOVE with that flower !!!! It's gorgeous the contasting colors of the lip and the sepals and petals. It's absolutely stunning.:drool: A must have !!!! Now I've got to look for it:biggrin:

Yeah. A must have is right. I couldn't stop drooling over that one. I'll have to wait for it to bloom as it is not the blooming size. I'll just keep slobbering on that picture. :drool: Orchids are like potato chips. :biggrin:

Must be that time of year. I have both 'Newberry' and 'Mendenhall' blooming. Newberry is a much better flower color I think.

Where can I get the 'Newberry' I've got to have it !!!!

Carter & Holmes have them in two sizes.

I had to have it so I did....:biggrin: It's a Blooming Size plant and should be here next week. Yay:biggrin: :D :biggrin:

Well Roly, Yours will be blooming before mine will. I ordered the little one. Such a stunner! So you send us a picture when that beauty pops a bloom. :photo: Of course, while I was there and paying shipping anyway, I ordered one of those bare root collections. Woo hoo! :biggrin:

Roly and Quiltingwako, When we went to Carter and Holmes a couple of months ago, Owen Holmes showed us the parent plants for this one in the stock greenhouse....MAN!!! You wouldn't believe the size of them!!!

It's a really cool place! I'm excited for both of you...PLEASE make sure we get to see the pictures!!!

Oh I'll be sure to take pictures. Since mine will be so small, I am sure that will be some time from now. I'll wipe the drool off the blossom and snap a shot off. Oh orchids are so dangerous. I just gaze on a picture and look what happens...out comes the credit card! :shock:

LOL...there's an even higher level of insanity in existence!
Memorize your credit card number so you don't have to waste time going to get it from the other room :rofl:

OMG! I love it!

I just paid off a credit card yesterday. And already I am having to TRY to be good.

I know my credit card number by heart....is that a bad thing?

Weeeelllll, orchids are low in calories and improve the air quality in our homes. That is my story. And when they bloom you just cannot stop smiling at them! :biggrin:

I like the way you think!!!!

:hmm Hadn't thought of the zero-calorie factor...I like it! :cheer:

Almost better than chocolate! :biggrin:

ALMOST....but not quite....:evil:

:coverlaugh:

AND, they help burn calories too! It's a "work-out" (not)taking care of them! We're such health conscious visionaries! :nod:
