    Default Vanda Gordon Dillon 'Lea' x V Lourdes Apostal

    Still have several blooms to open - A total of 17. Large blooms with a very thick substance. I'm happy with it. Not exactly what I thought it would be, but happy.

    Thanks Jeff. It has been reluctant to bloom. This cross was made by my buddy that did a few others that I have.

    How beautiful, Cathy! Exciting and gratifying to get such a great result after all that anticipation. I LOVE the purple and green contrasts.

    Quite nice! (Though I must admit ... I actually preferred the partitially opened flower you posted earlier in which the petal color was still white. )
