Wow! Those flowers are so dark - what a beaut.

WOW! superb - I had never seen one this dark. Thanks for showing us

Steve, It is gorgeous! It looks near black.

It is delicious! I bet it smells yummy. I got one in bloom last year, but it has not bloomed this year. :tapfoot:

i just love the chocolaty color and the waxy look!

The color is wonderful !!

Congrats for the bloom Steve.

Hey Steve, the flowers haven't improved from the other forum.....hehehehehehehe
Lovely orchid. Can't wait for mine to flower again.

For the parentage hunters, 1 part V. tessellata, 2 parts Rhy. gigantea.

Flowers looks so firm and... Cute!

May I ask, is that a seasonal bloomer?

I've only gotten it to bloom during the summer months (like V. tessellata). So even though it looks very much like Rhynchostylis gigantea, it blooms at the "wrong" time of year for that species.
