Hokage 火影
This is a division from a lovely and larger plant that belongs to Peter T Lin, founder of the Fukiran Society of the USA.
This is a small division from an awarded plant. It is up for auctioning. I have been watching with keen interest. It is now over $200!
Whomever wins this plant will have a really lovely plant.

As lovely as it is, I don't think that is going to be my next one.  |

LOL Leadmite. It won't be my plant either. I already have a three-fan Hokage, I did not spend anywhere near this amount. I suppose people are bidding on its celebrity status--comes from world renowned orchid expert Peter T. Lin AND it won an award. |

Those dark leaves are normal for this variety??
Is Peter Lin the same person running Big Leaf Orchids?

This Peter Lin is Diamond Orchids.
According to SE's catalog, Hokage should be a "yellow and white tiger stripe, but also scaret (sic) color appears".

Hokage 火影
Auction completed! The fortunate winner won it for US$291. Bidding started at $59.99.
I suppose I should've posted what the mother looks like. This might give a clue as to why the winner wanted the baby so much.

Wow that is a beautiful plant! I don't think I would have paid 300.00 for the division tho.
