Yep, I've found that also. I also see that there is a big variation in color.

I'm waiting for the light to improve here and I'll get some more pictures. The second bud has opened.

Here is a pic of the plant. The small black dots are insect bites.

I'm sorry, but i still do believ it's not a sumatrana... color, shape, lip, not sumatrana... surely a primary for me...

That's o.k., you could be right. Everyone has the right to their opinion.

I've written the vendor to see what he has to say. I'm just so D***ed disappointed.

Because of the controversy over this plant, I have deleted the pictures and ask that any of you who have subscribed to this thread to unsubscribe.
I never meant to mislead anyone. I only posted what I believed the plant to be. Thanks to all of you kind folks for the nice comments even though you probably knew I was in error.

The plant has had it's label pulled and a NOID label inserted.

The vendor is contacting the Troy Meyers Conservatory about these plants. He bought the flask there.
