    Default Phal violacea coerulea

    Well this 1 was worth waiting for.
    First blooming .
    Scent is not as strong (or as nice) as some of my other violacea's.
    Flowers are the same size as my bellina so pretty big for a violacea.

    Breeding is quite complex.
    phal (violacea coerulea x violacea Mentawi) X (violacea coerulea x violacea Mentawi) x violacea coerulea 'Keighley')

    A beauty. Got to love those 'blue' orchids. Very well grown and bloomed. The shape seems especially balanced and the flower very flat. This might win you an award sometime soon.

    Cheers,

    Yep i got it from Mike just over a year ago.
    Plant is bigger than my other violacea's (excluding bellina)& should be a real beauty in a year or 2.
