Is it really blue, or is it the lighting. I saw someone else with a similar Paph on another board and the flower was white. In anycase, wow! I love the patterns on this flower, and Im not a big Paph enthusiast.

Dear JRR,

The base color is off white, with black spotting. The flower size is very large for its type, and as you can see the form. This one ranks right up there with the best ever awarded AM's and its the result of many generations of line breeding.

Thank you Cb. Everyone loves their pet orchids like their kids. But its good to know when you have something very special and how to evaluate your orchids. Its all for fun anyway. Who has the rarest, or the best one on your block. I hope the hobby keeps everyone happy.
