First I do apologise if this is a repeat posting. I have been a bit out of touch, continuing eye problems - and tryiung to find what I have akready posted just go to be too difficult.
One of the Aussie hybrids, with the charming habit of repeat flowering for several years, on its canes - if you do it right ! I bought it with 4 flowering canes a year ago, grew 2 more, and flowered all six - good enough to get me both best hybrid, and also best dendrobe, in Bournemouth Spring Show ( Spring - now there is a lovely idea - we have more snow forecast for next week, although I doubt if we shall have anything worse than a flurry , this far south and west in England.)

It is lovely, and I want this beauty! I have googled it and can not find it anywhere.
Geoff I suspected it was a speciosum cross and checked RHS. I initially couldn't find it but I supect it was registered as Star of Riverdene not Rivendeene
Awesome!
Mabuhay!
If i ever cross an orchid like that I'LL BUY IT ON IMPULSE...even if i have to walk home. hehehehehheheheh
After an interesting discussion, it seems that it is about 50-50 whether this really is Star ofRiverdene (not Rivendeene) or Hilda Poxon. Anyone looking might try looking for the latter.
It seems that a Belgian(?) nursery recently sold a whole batch of these, so any Western European nursery might have them - my local garden centre had half a dozen last week.All gone now.
Very beautiful. Congrats.
