Hello,

I went to the Malvern International Orchid Show (UK) on Friday 13th, and it was a most spectacular display! I acquired three new orchids, plus discovering lots of new hybrids and species; the sheer diversity of form and colour was quite overwhelming!

A wonderful orchid that I have never heard of or come across before...
