Very nice indeed, and the flower count on this spike the highest I've seen!
Very nice! Could someone explain to me about the variety names like Shutennou? So it is different from clonal names? What's care like for this species, especially temperature?
I think we can say Shutennou, Tomakongo, Sekai, Yubae are all varieties ... or forms. I like to think of them as strains. If I buy 2 Sekai, I will probably get 2 plants that are geneticaly different althought they will look similar.
For the plant I show here, there is clonal name ('High Five'). The plant is a single division (yes, only one fan with one spike but with many many flowers!) of an awarded plant from Orchids Lted. I have another Shutennou. It is cute, but different. The flower shape is different and the bud count is lower even if the plant is older and has many fans. :
