    I love that blue.
    I saw a species, which I suspect is in this hybrid, at my local orchid society. However the meeting judge said it was a tough one to grow

    Yes, Fren, the species you are talking about is Den.victoriae-reginae, and yes, Den Mingle's Sapphire is a primary hybrid of Den.victoriae-reginae. It is a lot easier than victoriae-reginae which requires cool temperature. I heard a lot of people kill it during the summer.

    You must be tired of it if it blooms all of the time. Send it down here and I will take care of it for a while. BTW it is beautiful.
