I love this plant, it have a wonderful color and scent.

Beautiful Spider! You'll have 3 flowers before long. This has been a good bloom year for violacea and bellina. I'm having trouble finding a bellina that has more green that white in the petals. (Well I found one but don't want to spend $85 on it!) There was a cultivar floating around last year called 'Ponkan' that had really nice coloration. Can't find it at all this year.

Yes, the photo is a few week old, it has 2 floweres on 2 spikes, right now. I have a photo of all four of them, so I will load it up in my album.

Very pretty!!! How long do your blooms usually last?

[Spider]

I havn´t timed it but it must have been 4 weeks now and still going strong.

That's a beauty Spider, I can see why you'd love it.

Terri contact Krull-Smith Orchids in FL - Frank Smith is the one that got bellina 'Ponkan' awarded and I think he has offspring/mericlones/seedlings available.

You might also try Orchidview, HP Norton, to see if he has it available.
