P. Equalacea
Here's a sweet primary hybrid between P. violacea and P. equestris. Great dark pink lip, should put on a nice show when mature. Hard to capture the color so here are a couple of shots with different ISO settings.

Lovely!
I have one of these (from Peter Lin) which is back in bud again. I'd all but forgotten how much I like it. Thanks for the reminder!

What color is yours? This one was from Rob Shepherd at Sapphire Dragon Orchids ( highly recommended). He breeds for blue and this cross didn't live up to his expectations so he sells them for cheap. I have another from a different batch that are coming out nice and blue. It is still just in spike, I'll share pics when it does its thing.

Love it-aren't they great  . I think I've mentioned that mine (my avatar) was a bonus plant and it was from Sapphire Dragon as well. Is yours fragrant? Mine has the most wonderful rose-like fragrance especially in the morning. Also, does yours bloom successively? Mine has been blooming constantly and successively since it put a spike out about 2 weeks after I got it late spring. Since then it put out another spike that's blooming and now a third spike is coming  .

Susan,
This one isn't fragrant at all that I can tell. This is the first bloom so time will tell how floriferous it will be. With equestris as a parent it should stay in bloom for a while. 
I got a bonus too! What was yours? I actually have another order on the way.

The Equalacea was the bonus plant for an order where I got equestris v. cyanochilus and luddemanniana v. ochracea. The equestris is blooming now:
The luddemanniana came with an old spike that looked like it had one flower. That spike is starting to branch and elongate, so will get hopefully some more flowers or maybe a keiki.

Update: This one has developed a nice light fragrance much like violacea.
