Simply beautiful. Thirty six years...that's a long, impressive relationship. Great growing and devotion!

This is gorgeous for sure, love the colours. 36 years? WOW! Boy you really know how to stick with something. You must love this one :D

great looking BC :)
I love the BC crosses and mine does well for me(no blooms but the plant looks good).?. ya pretty plants are number#1 for me. I have not seen this cross before. Guessing bec its an older cross at 36 + years old. You dont see a lot of BC crosses bec I think the B is so dominant overall in the flower. It does look like more of the C shows thru.

Nice growing :bowing

thank you all for the positive comments, its been a been a tough time keeping a plant this long.....now, i have to dedicate a 'keeper' for it in my will, lol....

i fell in love with this flower when i walked into a gh full of them blooming all at once...the scent just about knocked me cold! they are the most fragrant of my orchids....

(James bows deeply and doffs his hat) Wow. Nice orchid but 36 years!!!! Impressive to say the least. Is your name Job? The trials of keeping anything alive for 36 years are impressive. Well the next 36 should be a breeze. (wow)
