One of my best flameas in my collection with 4 flowers and 4 buds… I named her SUPERNOVA because it looks like an explosion… huge at 7 inches!

Now that's a 10 on the floor scale. Very distinctive.
Incredible, Leslie. How do you decide when pincelada becomes flamea?
Pincelada is mini flecks, like a tiny stroke of a paintbrush. Flamea is broad bold stripes or more.

oh, my!
I bow in silent awe and admiration! 
Wow, your flamea collection is excellent. This is one of quote a few you have shown us.
Pitter patter goes my heart. Stunning. I can’t imagine the impact it’s size has in person.
Leslie, stunning as usual!
Someday post a photo of one of your “dogs”. Just so we know…
On second thought you probably don’t harbor dogs in your collection.

Yes, post your dog catt.
I bought as seedling from a hobbyist in US who thinks he got from Armando Mantellini. I suspect it’s a ‘Featherstone’ x sib.
Thanks for sharing, stunning. What great luck producing this flower from a seedling. I love the name.
Excellent presentation! Have you shown it for judging?
Unfortunately our first judging since COVID starts July 17th, about 6 weeks from now. The flowers won’t be in prime then, or have withered from the heat and low humidity.
Here’s SUPERNOVA (as a Diva) during sunset tonight:
I have periodically wondered how many fantastic orchids never got judged just because they never bloomed at the right time for a convenient judging!
I can say at least 1/2 of my collection personally lol. Of the 250 cattleyas I have, maybe half is awardable but I could only show perhaps 10, and I think 6 were awarded. Same for my Paphs.
