Rhynchostylis gigantea (Rare Peach Color)
 

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:biggrin:

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.

Wow, really pretty!

A very pretty unusual color, mine is standard white but I love it's long lasting blooms and fragrance. . Regular bloomer too.

Wonderful! How often will it bloom?

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.

Wow............
