Very pretty blooms, and the color is quite attractive even if it's not a true blue.

Kawamoto Orchids in Hawaii often has adult to near-adult sized plants of this hybrid for sale if anyone's interested in acquiring one.

Default Thank you, everyone!
Great to know it's a easy grower&bloomer!

I should take better pictures as the ones already posted came out rather dark. It really is nice color to look at with the yellow throat.

I was bidding on one with sheaths on eBay today. it was by the same vendor. I bought my first catts from them last year and I loved the way they packed the plants.
Plants were all nice too.
I eventually gave up on bidding because I already have one, but did win two BLCs, well, they are all RLC now?

I will post pictures when I get them this coming week I hope. I'm soooo excited!!!!

Yes, it does have slight but pleasant scent all day and night, though stronger in the morning.

That looks pretty. I can't really tell the difference between the two though. Is it more blue than Azur Sky??

Default One more flower open!
There is a much smaller pb with developing buds on at the time I got this plant and today one of the two buds started to open. This plant must be an easy bloomer if it can bear two flowers on such a small pb. My other catt skipped blooming on smaller growth.

Well, it looks like I'm going to enjoy this blue purple flowers for another month or so.
