This is the first time it has flowered. This has been a sloooooooooow grower. I bought it from Orchid Limited in May 2010 as a nice seedling (~15 cm leafspan), and now after 2.5 years the shoot is mature. I think the flower is a bit different than the usual hainanense, with broader, drooping petals. I kind of lite it! However, I am not so fond of the extreamly long spike. It is not proportional to the plant size, and it also seem to deviate from the norm of the species.
I suppose the correct species name for it should be P. appletonianum (a variant of it).
