Those are amazing! If I've seen these before they didn't leave much impression, but yours are gorgeous! What are the growing conditions for these?

I believe Rosie was referring to the two different species
as the parents, and the hybrid Regnieri as the child. Common enough terminology.
Oh, and Bayard, since "the King" was kind enough to mention the foliage, I would love to see photos of the leaves if you have them. I really like orchids with attractive flowers AND leaves!
