Nice cross and pretty yellow color.

Looks awesome. I don't love the name though. Just doesn't seem to fit the bloom (in my opinion).

 

[The Orchid Boy]

Love it! One of the better ones I've seen.

 

[SlipperKing]

This is one of the best shaped ones I've seen.

Satin, yes, but smoke???

The name Satin Smoke makes more sense when flowers of this cross have predominate colorinig of dusky rose without much yellow/green background, and a nearly white lip. This very yellow form with limited reddish tones perhaps comes from a selected intense yellow primulinum parent like we see today but not used for the original cross, registered 20+ years ago. I would assume that a breeder using micranthum as a parent is looking for pink tesselation, not a clear yellow.

Not that this isn't very nice in some ways, just puzzling.

Yeah, usually they are a grey/green tone. I have one and killed off one. They are not easy to bloom.
