It finally bloomed. I knew that going back to metal halide was a good idea.
Grows intermediate under 4 feet from 1000w metal halide. The smell is amazing!

Gorgeous.

Is the colour difference a photographic difference with different light, or is it a difference due to how it's grown?

Very pretty blooms. And you're right: the flowers of this species smell fantastic. Congratulations on the blooms.

Drool! Gorgeous walkeriana, the deep plum color and contrast are spectacular.

RosieC,
It is the same plant, but picture was taken under different light sources. Like I had said I grow under metal halide. Had been using 8t5's no luck for two years. But with metal halide it has and the rest of my plants have stated to grow at a fast steady pace. I use a bulb that has some red spectrum too. Daytime highs are 28c and nights go down to 18c just by default as the lights turn off.
Happy with this new bloom. I find the cerulean walkeriana's easier to bloom under less light.

Looks great!

Neither pic is of the orchid name provided. It should have stripe/flares full length of the petals the same color as the lip.

Roy, you are untitled to your opinions. I do like this mericlone, the petals are getting bigger. I have seen enough pictures of the clone and colourattopny
