This one is still pregnant from last year's blooming, the seed pod hasn't finished yet....but it decided to bloom again anyway!

That's really nice, Jasen.

That's obviously a very happy orchid Jasen! Beautiful.

Jasen, It's very pretty. I like the way the reverse side is white and it shows the white when the petals twist a bit. Interesting.

That's a beautiful tesselatta Jasen! The color is geat...and I bet it smells great too!

It must be very happy to produce a bloom spike when it has a pod...that is a testament to your growing abilities. Way to go!

I love the shape of the flower and the petal colour. It must be very healthy!

I have been wanting this one for a long time. It is really beautiful. Did you cross it with something else, or just itself for the seeds? How is the fragrance?

This is a beautiful species from India....Mine isn't very fragrant. The seed pod was the result of a self-pollination. So if all goes well, I'll have baby tesselattas everywhere.
