Lc Mari's Song 'CTM'

After some patience, I've finally gotten one of those "Bag Baby" orchids to bloom. I bought this one from Lowe's nearly a year ago. The tag reads "Lc. Mari's Song 'CTM'", but I'm pretty sure the full cultivar name is 'CTM 217'. It's a pretty nondescript name if you ask me.

The flower just opened yesterday and has gotten significantly pinker in the last 24 hours. No fragrance just yet.

Here was the plant when it opened yesterday. Flower was much paler, not as pink:

Good growing. When mine first opened, the white was yellow and I thought it was much prettier. After a day or so the yellow faded to white. I've decided I can only handle two colors in a flower. lol

Way to go. So nice a bright.
