here it is!
Hi,
day three and the flower has expanded quickly and the colour has become paler. This colour rendition is more accurate.
It is an honourable draw between the purple of kovachii and the dark red of MDC.
The flower is 12 cm wide and the petals 4cm across. The whole plant is about 45cm leaf tip to leaf tip.
The plant has grown well since it was repotted from rockwool last spring into an average bark mix.
I'm very pleased with how it has grown -it spends the winter in the kitchen with the other orchids and the summer in the cold greenhouse amongst the tomatoes. No extra heating costs!
Because of this it never gets very hot - it was pretty cool in the kitchen this winter and the greenhouse is very well ventilated so as the provide ideal conditions for tomatoes, not orchids. Humidity is never very high.
Although there is another sheath, this is the only flower on the flower stem.
Maybe next year it will have more,
Regards,
David
