Phalaenopsis violacea (indigo x sumatrana)
Finally got my camera back with all of the photos of this bloom forming and opening up. Thought I would share yet another really good species cross by Norman's. This is violacea var indigo x violacea var sumatrana.
Color on the bud was awesome, and so far the color hasn't faded on the bloom (been about 10 days now). Has a nifty washed color at the end of the petals that I think I like. Wish I had captured the color best on the opening shot that I got when it was partially opened. Even that is still not doing the color justice (it's darker red/purple than it appears). Anyway, enjoy.
