Anyways, very very beautiful!!!
It's one of those flowers that make you stop and drop your jaw. 
What's the diameter of that pot so I have an idea of the size of the plant and flowers?
They look very large.
I bet they smell heavenly too? |
The bluish form that you have seen may be 'Blue Hawaii'. 'Islander Delights' has the dark magenta lip and streaks. It is larger, has a better shape and in my opinion is more eye catching than 'Blue Hawaii'. There may be other varieties but I'm only familiar with the two. The plant is growing in a 4-inch clay pot that has an outside top diameter of 4-1/2 inches. The flowers have a slight fragrance.

The Sphagnum Moss from New Zealand will last at least 2-3 years. One downside with Sphagnum besides the cost is that weeds like it as much as the orchid plant.
