    Default Blc. Waianae Leopard 'Ching Hua'

    I count eight flowers on this inflorescence. The previous bloom had 2 or 3 flowers only.



    Another angle highlighting the "neon" edges on the lips.


    I'll post updates once the flowers are fully open.

    Yes I did.
    I was worried about the tight spacing between buds on my plant, but looking at the flowers on your plant it looks like that is typical for this hybrid.

    Wonderful coloration on this beauty! I am not usually that wild about the spotted catts, but this one is really lovely.

    Yes that is typical. It unfortunately doesn't let the flowers open full.
