Lc. Island Springs 'Lenette'
Got this one a few years ago as a seedling from Carter & Holmes. First flowering for me 2 years ago was a little disappointing, flowers were not held well and colors were not so great.This flowering displays the orange, yellow, purple and white better and flowers are held better.
In case you are wondering, no detectable fragrance.

I like it! I can't get over thinking the orange and the purple/white parts are actually two different flowers!

Thanks e.s.
The two different color palettes are what sold me on it in the first place. Also, the sepals seem like they are from a simpler, larger flowered plant, while the peloric lip and petals seem like they are from a smaller 'floofy' type.

Yes that is what it looks like. I think this may be one of the strangest blooms I have ever seen. I love it too and of course I want one.  |

Update on fragrance
Well, a few days after opening, Lc. Island Springs 'Lenette' does indeed have a fragrance. I was looking at the plant this morning (I get up early in the a.m..; VERY a.m.) and noticed two things. The orange color in the sepals is stronger, and there is a definite sweet-spicy fragrance.
This is odd to me because Carter & Holmes listed this as 'fragrance - no' in their catalog. Perhaps it is only fragrant at night?
I mentioned before that the first flowering of this plant a couple years ago was a bit disappointing. I almost gave it away back then - glad I didn't! This flowering is good evidence that sometimes you need to wait through 2 or 3 bloom cycles to judge a plant's potential.
