D. Bougainville x spectabile

[skirincich]

These are photos from a plant purchased from H&R several months ago. Bougainville is a cross of Dendrobium johnsoniae and bigibbum. I was hoping for a little more latouria influence, but other examples suggest that phalaenopsis dendrobium genetics are dominant. The Bougainville photo on the H&R site (https://hrnurseries.com/downloads/colorguide/SS2017-Complete.pdf) shows a flower that is mostly white. Not sure if this is the parent.
