    This is the best ever bloom for this plant. nice tall strong spike with a soft powdery fragrance.

    Wow! Great looking Purpurata...that is absolutely the Grand-Dame's of Orchids. I don't care what version of Purpurata you are lucky enough to have, they are all just too pretty!

    Cin, it's nice to see what the other half of my hybrid looks like, Lc Gaiety Flambeau. I like yours more because it appears to be a larger flower and opens much more....thanks
