Nice color. Congrats!

Excellent color. I hope it branches.

The color on this particular cross is really astounding. It's really impressive how deep and saturated the red is on the lip, and even the petals are vibrant. I think it holds some potential for breeding some deep reds with longifolium heavy influence introducing larger sized flowers with the richness of color meeting or exceeding that of the sargentianum / lindleyanum heavy breeding lines.

There may be some issues with the pouch. Should be a sequential bloomed, keep us posted.

The cross is called Phrag. Nicholle Tower. The pouch is unfortunately deformed on your plant. Hope it will bloom better the next time.

This is a better example from the same cross (dalesandroi x longifolium). I actually like this cross better than Phrag. Eric Young (= besseae x longifolium).

Nice one.
The longifolium used must've been really black as night to get that rich colour.
