[Erythrone]

It is a vigourous cross I got from ORCHIDbabies in 2012. I bought 2 plants and this one is my favorite.

I like the flower shape quite a bit, and the spotting on the lip is really nice. Seems like a keeper to me as well.

"Tresses", can mean a shock or mop of hair - like that dorsal!

Do you know Pippi Longstocking (Fifi brindacier Pippi Långstrump)? She had horizontal tresses.... Not golden but red, though
