Default Phalaenopsis Equalacea
Phalaenopsis Equalacea grex Sapphire's Indigo Equalacea
(P. equestris var cyanochilus "Martel's Blue' X P. violacea var indigo 'Sapphire's Navy')

A recent acquisition. Flowers didn't make it thru shipping all that well. The flower on the right lost its pollen so it has wilted but was in perfect form when it arrived. The other still has its pollen but the petals are wilting. I'm really just posting to show the colors.
Good news is it has another spike so I'll get to see what she looks like with fresh blooms!!




Look at how dark that lip is!

I wouldn't be surprised if she got it from Sapphire Dragon Orchids, they tend to have these gorgeous blue hybrids...

And I can't buy any of them!

Thanks for the comments everybody!! You can be sure I'll post pics of the new blooms!!! It will be awhile as the spike is still small, no buds showing just yet.
I forgot to mention that it's very fragrant, kinda like Hyacinths which I just love! So I'm happy, she has really nice color and fragrance!!
And yes, this came from Sapphire Dragon Orchids along with a few other different crosses! One of which has a spike just starting too!
