I had hung this upside down when I first received it. I've since sat the net pot into a clay pot to help it deal with the heat and it began perking up and growing like mad. It has had these two flowers for a couple weeks, so if the first two pics look a little more vibrant and red it's because they were taken over a week ago when they first bloomed. This is one of those plants I bought due to the name...my late mother in law was Stella and she would have loved my orchids. I miss my bingo buddy...if I ever get to name a pink orchid it will have to be named Stella as that was her favorite color.
