I got this new intergeneric hybrid from RF Orchids last month when it was in spike. Here it is in full bloom...and it has a delightful fragrance!

The cross is Paraphalaenopsis laycockii x Ascda. Meda Arnold 'Blue Queen'. It is actually a plant I picked up by mistake...I meant to grab another similar type cross and misread the lable...I didn't notice it until after I got home. Oh well, I'm glad that this mistake happened.

That's beautiful, David! A great new addition. (and it doesn't sound like a mistake to me... it sounds like you were meant to have this one!!)

Another little beauty
I like the coloration and the shape of the flowers .. unusual

Gorgeous! That's a new one for me...I like it...a LOT!

Very beautiful. It is an interesting cross too.

I'm glad that you all are enjoying this beauty. Thanks for your kind words.

Suzanne...they had lots of these guys at RF, and they are featured on their website under New Arrivals, although I am sure it will be moved to the Vandaceous Hybrids section at some point in the near future. So whenever you're ready to have one, you know where to look.

FANTASTIC MISTAKE. I love it. I have never seen this before. Enjoy your 'mistake'

If I was ever let loose in RF's geenhouse???????

For consolation I'm going to go cut my self a big piece of fresh raspberry, cream cheese, chocolate pie, with chocolate dripped all over the top......
