Nice. I have never heard of violacea var sumatrana...that is not recognized according to OrchidWiz. I have heard a reference to var sumatra, but even that is apparently not recognized either.

Jarad that is superb! thanks for posting I'd love some more of these but they take up space...

Adjamania2,
I have had a bellina for 5 years now & grow in the house. I grow it in an 'enclosed space' to keep the humidity high. First it was in a giant water bottle but became too big for it so I now have it in a terrarium. It's in flower at the moment and for the first time I had 4 flowers open at the same time with 2 more buds which will be flowering in the next few weeks. It is the only plant I have planted in 100% sphag (loose) with a layer of leca pebbles at the bottom. I only water when sphag gets dry which can take up to 2 weeks. -I nearly lost her a few years ago to root rot (she was in bark at the time) Hope this helps.

HEY!!! You should cross this to your Gelblieber in bloom! That should look AWESOME!!!
