BLC. George King "Serendipity"
 

I got this as a "rescue" Lowes bag baby in 2013. I imagine this makes it approximately 7 years old. This plant has very large leaf/pseudobulbs at 15" long. (Other than my Recchara, this is my largest orchid). This is its first bloom,and it gave me 2-2 flower pairs (4 flowers total). It is suposed to be "peachy pink" but to me, it is just "pink." I took the photo last month some time. I have been having "camera issues," so I could not post until now.

Oh wait, I forgot, maybe the Rothchilde Paph has longer leaves.

Looks great, fragrant too? Has it gotten more peachy as the bloom aged?

Wonderful bloom these bag babies can produce with excellent care. Gorgeous.

Oh yes! Marvelous scent. Very strong and long-lasting. Very rosy-frangipani type smell. The first one opened totally 9/10/17, and I cut them all off 11/21/17.

Unfortunately, it was more standard pink than peach. Maybe next year.

PH and temperature can affect how peachy the flowers are - they seem more orange-peach when grown pretty warm and under very bright light with high humidity such as in a greenhouse.

Here is my own plant blooming (indoors) with some peach but also pink.

And here is one I photographed at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens grown with more light, humidity and heat that I also photographed.

And for contrast, one still on my wanted list is Pot. Edith North 'Danny Adams' which is even more peachy. This one I also photographed at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens as I haven't been able to obtain one myself, yet.

If you are able at a later time to set your King George up where it can get more heat, humidity and bright light the yellow tints may come through better. I agree the fragrance is wonderful. Glad to see yours!

I like the pink! Very pretty! Plumeria is quite a wonderful fragrance, too. :)

Gorgeous bloom you have there,Ornery O.. Entire plant glows! :verycool:

Those are gorgeous blooms! Congrats on having blooms after such a long wait. Beautiful color, even if it's not the expected peach tones.

I really want to get one of these. The soft peachy pink color is just so attractive. And lol at the Paph rothschildianum's leafspan. I keep forgetting mine is about 3 feet across. I may trade it one of these days for a more compact one so I could get more space.

These are gorgeous. How large are the blooms? I know some don't like them but I love big floof.
