First time blooming this species. I like that just about every plant is flowering - very good percentage - almost phalaenopsis like. :)

It might just be resolution of the photos, but the pink tone of those petals are fantastic!!
Much better than some of the typical dull pink petals I've seen!

HEAR, HEAR! :drool:

It might just be resolution of the photos...

Well, as the green leaves in the photos do not have any hint of a reddish hue...might it not simply just be due to the fact, that the colours of these petals are f...... fabolously fantastic? Said with slightly hidden envy - and pardon my french! And please, allow for my utter ignorance of matters photographic! :D :D :D

The broad, rounded tips of some of the petals will have to make me read up on the differences between appletonianum and bullenianum, when I get home from work, later tonight!

Lastly, do you have any info on the parentage of the depicted plants?

Kind regards,
Jens
