Waunakee Wonder x dalessandroi

[orchid527]

Two years out of a flask from Chuck Acker. The flower has a span of about 12 cm and the plant is growing in a very small pot. The color is good, but the dorsal is curled a bit. Hopefully, the next bloom will be larger and flatter, and if it blooms earlier in the year, the color should be even better.

I like the raspberry color. Hope it branches from the dalessandroi side

Interesting shape -- like an arrow.

Very nice. Another one to the wish list.. :rollhappy:
I actually like the pointed dorsal. It adds to the overall symmetry of the flower.

I think that turned out well. Pretty good color, the only improvement I'd love to see is more intense yellow. I actually like the shape, but I will be interested to see if future flowers produce a flat dorsal.

Lovely flower and I like the light color on the dorsal near
the pouch...an introduction to the pouch color because it
leads the eye down to the main attraction.

Lovely colour.

I've had two cases with a less than flat dorsal during first bloom. One improved during second blooming while the other did not.

Sometimes it is environmental but usually genetic.

I am dreaming of this plant...
