Pcv. Golden Peacock 'Orange Beauty'

This one came as budded from Kawamoto orchid, and it always amazed me how large the plant was for the price they were sold...Anyways, this one is a really nice Richard Mueller hybrid with Prosthechea vitellina, originally Epidendrum vitellina, which gives this hybrid the bright orange color and the high bud count. This is still a very young plant, and already 6-7 flowers per stem. I think it will be around 15 once fully grown. Additionaly, the flower lasts longer than a phalaenopsis...at least that's what I heard. Already three weeks now, and some of the bud are still not open yet. No fragrance of any kind, though. I just like the joyful color.

Awesome orange, Libo! Being that it is a Mueller cross, have you witness any color changes as the flowers age?

Not this time. At least not what I was expecting...The flower opened as a really ugly greenish orange, but the green color quickly faded within a day or two, and the color got more and more intense over time until it reached a very saturated orange.

So nice, Libo! What a great addition! I absolutely love orange!!! :D Thanks for brightening my day.

WOW!!! I want that!!! Oh, how I wish that I could order from American vendors!

Very pretty! Love that orange.

Beautiful color and a sleek elegant array of blooms...Kawamoto have always delivered healthy specimens to me...even their seedlings are perfect. I love the way they pack the plants and boxed elegantly like a flower shop.

Wow! :love: I love the color!

Thank you all for the kind comments. Now that I have started my flickr album, I'll post more and more pictures here:) I'm glad you all like it.
