All,
a first flowering seedling bought last spring from Roelke orchids in Germany.
It spent the summer in the unheated greenhouse and is back in the kitchen over winter.
It made up a decent bulb over the summer.
The scent is knockout, especially later in the day.
I'm really pleased with this.
I like the shape of the flower - quite a difference from most
of the hybrids seen today.
The photos were taken on the cooker using the lights from the hood above.
I like the lighting contrasts they produce,
Regards,
David
