Well folks, this is supposed to be Phal. violacea v. coerulea. Frankly I don't know if it is or not. Might be a Catt. for all I know.

Anyway, enjoy.

Definitely a Phal violacea.
The blooms produced may get blue-er as the plant matures; and this bloom may darken some as it ages.
The more blue the bloom, the more desired the cultivar (read $$$)

Thanks for the verification. It is a bit bluer than the photo and definitely darker that last year.

I was happy this a.m. when I checked this blossom. It surely has darkened up. The scent is kinda a sickly sweet.

Mine blooms "blue" from the get go and only gets darker as it ages. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I want an alba though. I'm lusting after an alba. LOLOL
