I've seen these flowers ranging from almost lavender until this deep violet-blue.

Cool, Mauro! This is truly one of my favorite species...I just it!

Yours is a much deeper purple color than mine is, so much variety...I want them all!

Oh wow! Yours is huge already! Mine is little more than a baby! By the photo yours seems to be very similar to mine as to the lip color!

It's really not very big.

I'll post a pic of the whole plant once I can remove the plants from the room again...we're in another cold spell here

Wow, you guys are sooo lucky to have coeletis! For the life of me I cant find that species anywhere in my neck of the Pacific!! Ill just have to enjoy yours!!

BTW Sue and Mauro, are both of your plants blooming right now? It seems strange to have such a plant blooming during 2 opposite seasons right?
