Third blooming of this seedling that came from Orchids limited. They still have this grex for sale. It is hugely vigorous.
Despite crossing the Atlantic as a seedling and getting lost in the post for nearly a month it produced a growth that bloomed plus another smaller growth in the first season.
In the second year it did the same. This is the third season so a fifth growth.
The flowers are steadily increasing in size and number as the plant develops. The blooms are about 6.5 inches across. I removed a fourth bud as the spike was splitting the sheath to give the other three room to expand. The scent is delicious.
