Default Bulb Doris Dukes
I'm sure that just about everyone has seen Bulb Doris Dukes, a Bill Thoms cross named after his wife Doris. This particular cultivar has some of the longest fringe that I have ever seen.
Merlyn and TheBlazingAugust like this.

Yes we have, but not in such an awesome close up!! Good job getting it to bloom. Thanks for sharing this.

It has no noticeable smell that I could detect, I had it right up in my face in 90 degree temps this afternoon as I was pulling pollen from it. I think I would sensed if it were a stinky one.

Interesting and certainly from this 'weird and wonderful' family of orchids.
