Now in the new extension area almost along side the Aer x V, this is flowering whereas it did once in many years where it was & much better spike also.

Congrats! that is a tough one to grow for me. Clearly not for you though.

Not exactly Charity, had years of slow to no growth & only one flowering. Moved to the new extension with the higher light & slightly different atmosphere it hasn't looked back. Just have to see if it continues.

I recall seeing Pine Rivers as a clonal name on a good many different orchids over the years. I suppose it is either a very fine private collection or more likely a professional firm, selling and breeding orchids. This must be a fairly recent cross , I suppose, but I have not looked it up ..
Mabe it is Aussie and you can tell us ?

Oh wow! This is beautiful Roy!

Under the name Vascostylis, this was registered by an Australian growers whom I know, M & J Rivers. The cross was from a very well known Asia Nursery. The name 'Pine Rivers' I haven't see used anywhere over here apart from these plants. What has appears overseas I don't know.
