Nice one Dennis! I just recieved a violacea x bellina from Hauserman last week. I'll have to remember to post a photo tonight. What does yours smell like? Mine is kind of a citrusy rose scent.

That's a beauty...and you know it came from a good home :) :clap:

Beauty! :clap:
That one is on my wish list! :)

I really like violacias and scheirllina (even if i can't spell schiellrina). are violacias easy to grow?

Dennis, that one you have posted is a real beauty! I guess like most folks, i really like the blues and the reds (okay, I like them all). mary

Hello Dennis!

It looks a lot like Phal pulchra...... !
Also, on the right side of the picture, the spot on the leaf, is it a sun burn spot of a scale? Just checking.... :-)

Congrats on the new baby. Really nice, Dennis :D

Might it be a phal lueddeviolacea? A very cool primary cross . They seems very similar.

It looks a lot like Phal pulchra......
not really on a pulchra the lip is almost as long as the petals. The color of the segments is uniformly violet/red. Lateral lobes are yellow, the midlobe of the same color than the segments, at white base.

Might it be a phal lueddeviolacea
sorry no again here it was it says on pulchra
Regarded for a long time as a variety of Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana, it is characterized by its estival period of flowering, whereas Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana flowers earlier, in spring. The colouring of the flower is also very different, plain for Phalaenopsis pulchra, it acts of transverse bars for Phalaenopsis lueddemanniana

pulchra is a spring bloomer not summer. luddemanniana is a autumn bloomer where as violacea is possible all the year but more abundant from spring to autumn. pulchra is not frangrant. phal. ludde-violacea still has the white cap on the midlobe and is also not fragrant

No it aint scale , and yes it is a violacea , if you don't think so take it up with Hausermanns . gin
