Fantastic, I so NOT expecting to see that blue lip, lovely - martha
Wow...I would have named it "The Purple Leopard"
Mine finally has one flower open and another in the process of opening.
This is the only orchid I can find that has what I believe are immature mealy bugs. Little white things (I use a loupe to look for bugs). Been spraying with alcohol 70% isopropyl.
Here is my specimen's bloom. Photographed in the kitchen where it is quarantined right now.

I like this orchid!
Maybe I should try to grow this species.

Beautiful, I had a zygo but it didn't do good here in Tampa Florida.
