Opening tonight - Sl. Beautiful Sunset

[Dekejis]

I'm really excited about this one. The flower looks like it's going to be nearly the same size as the plant! It's the most intense purple fuchsia color, and I just love he yellow flush - you can sort of see the purple veining on the sides of the labellum in at least one of the pics. I will post an update once this baby is fully open. I have another in bud, too, so I will be interested to see what kind of variation I get. I am so getting more of these..

It's a beauty
Very rich in color
I love it's small size
I was curious about it's parents so I looked up to find
Sl. Beautiful Sunset = L. sincorana x Sl. Orpetii
and Sl. Orpetii = L. pumila x S. coccinea
It's has a background of beautiful species orchids
No wonder it's so good looking

Sure! Here's a few pics I took of the flower outside this afternoon. The natural spread of the flower is 2 3/4" and the height of the plant from the soil line is 3 1/4".
