Dtps (Pinlong Jewel x Rothschildiana) 'President'

A little beauty currently in bloom. The photos don't really do justice to the sparkle on the petals. (And yes, I know, I know, I should have washed the leaves, but really doesn't that rule only apply to orchid shows?)

[Jmoney]

outstanding color!

[Brutal_Dreamer]

Wow, that is vibrant!

Cheers,

Great color, nice sparkle, and the white petal edges and little dab of white in the center are so charming. What leaves????

You should have posted a sunglasses warning. I still seeing spots! Oh yes, nice flowers--what I can see of them.

[sadie]

The very last bloom of many on this one came out a little odd -- perhaps another example of orchids too close to the microwave? Bizarre little mutant isn't it?

[Kerry]

Siamese twins is definintely the term I'd use. It looks like it still has the correct amount of sepals and petals, rather than it being one of the petals that mutated.

It will just have to be the odd one out, make sure the other flowers don't bully the twins!

[murgdan]

Well...just don't install any microwaves in your new greenhouse!

[Piper]

Well, if you don't install a microwave, be sure to put a salad shooter on a shelf above the potting sink. They need to know who's in charge, or they'll simply have their way with you!
