I LOVE this plant/bloom. I wish pictures could do her justice. The rich, deep maroon, long velvet lip, the elegant red tinged with sunset petals, and the sunset pink/orange sepals.... One more bud to open. Faint fragrance.

The second pic really shows how dark that lip is, and it is fantastic! Another great Floof, from the Queen!

The yellow veining on the inside of the bloom is pretty.

Very beautiful, but I'm sure it's not C. Mem Helen Brown (which is a green with red isthmus shaped lip). Perhaps mislabeled.
