Rhynchostylis gigantea (Rare Peach Color)

[Ysa]

Finally my special Rhy is in flower and what a great show, color and aroma. There native to Thailand, has thick fleshy leaves up to 3" wide and 12" long with a curious notch in the end of the leaf. I grow it with my Vandas but more on the shade side.
The sprays emerge from between the leaf axils like phals. Each spray have over 20 flowers. At the begining the flowers open with a white background overlaid in peach, after the flowers have been open for a week the color darkens into a nice peachy glow. The flowers are streamly fragrant citrus aroma. I have other colors that are not fully open yet (I will post pics when they are in full bloom ) but this one is really rare and have an awsome peach color

Congratulations Ysa!

It is a beautiful color. I hope mine will be as at least half as pretty as yours.

It is beatiful, I've got another year or two before mine blooms and I also hope it's at least half as nice as yours.

That's really cool. We had a typical colored one brought into our last society meeting and it smelled so great! Yours looks incredible, I want one.
