    It is a precious gift from my good friend. You can imagine how happy I am seeing it blooming! (Sorry that I have some problem in the date setting of the camera)Name: 748.jpg Views: 1843 Size: 104.6 KB

    What an awesome labellum !!! But I would say it is not the famed var. Rosita but probably its cross.

    What a beauty. Would you happen to know where in Beijing I could see orchids as I plan a trip sometime this year?

    Thanks everyone for your viewing!
    Also thanks Amy for pointing out that this one is not a rosita form. In fact my friend told me that this one was var. aurea. The lab shows it is a rosita form. Even so it is still my favorite orchid!
    Hi Mary, welcome to China! I think Beijing is too cold for most orchids. I will ask my friend in Beijing then give you an PM.
