    Love the flowers on this, they look so "untamed".

    The only thing to dislike is that horrible name Gombrassiltonia - whatever was the botanist or whatever thinking about to lumber a fine orchid with that ?
    But I have one myself, - not this grex, but another , although similar flower colours - I did not post it after a few flowers got attacked by a snail - but that little animal made the mistake of going back for another feed once too often, and now is no more.... Revenge is sweet, but I had to cut off the damaged flowers, they were not nice to look at.

    I would agree but who are we to disagree with them, I have heard it is a waste of breath!
