i like the petal stance.
Unusual varietal name.

Seems the 20 years wait wasn't in vain. Very nice flowers.

.......Unusual varietal name.

Indeed, but I think it should be spelled correctly 'Labarum of Winchester', or am I wrong ?

Stunning! Is this the first flowering?

You are correct. It should be Labarum.

It was the first time for me. I got this 20 years ago as a small division in an orchid auction for $37. It got a little bit bigger and I nearly killed the plant. The original plant was awarded in May 1994.
