I bought this in January 2011 from Jewell Orchids.

In May 2011, it looked like this--It had only one spike and not may flowers on the spike:






TODAY, it looks like this--It produced two spikes, and, instead of only 2 flowers per spike, it produced 7. Unfortunately, someone broke the second spike. The blooms are bigger and open more fully:

Beautiful flowers. I like the ruffles on the lip and sepals...the colors are striking.

Very nice! How big are the p-bulbs? I have a seedling labeled thompsoniana, but I guess they usually end up being albopurpurea. I'm curious as to when it will finally bloom.

Those are some very nice flowers. The white and deep red/purple go great together and are really nice. Tell that someone to stay away from your orchids I'll have to look into finding one of these. I've read about them but no one has thrown one away yet. Dang!!!
