To my surprise, this plant produced another growth in three months after the last blooming in November last year and flowered again (four months later). This time it produced only 3 flowers but all had normal lips. Guess it was only a one time event with the odd lip.



Flowers are still growing as it's only been two days opening. Will take more pics once it's set.

Very pretty. The lip color is fantastic. Very much anticipating photos once the blooms have completely filled out.

Finally the flowers stretched out ... Largest is 14 cm, about 2 cm larger than last blooming. Goes to show less flowers mean larger blooms as less energy divided up among the many small flowers.








Love the white picotee around the lip and the mini magenta darts on the petal tips (micro pincelada? Lol).

Seaweed contain growth regulators called auxins that stimulate root and tissue growth. It's a great asset to all growers!!
