Den. cuthbersonii x Dend. goldschmidtianum 'Lafayette'
Oh I've waited for what seems like forever for this one to open up. It's seems like months since I first seen the buds. I do think this one is worth it. You can see there is another flower just starting to open up a little.

Julie, that's wonderful!
I'm so jealous of anybody able to grow Den. cuthbersonii as it's a favorite of mine and calls for temps that I can't provide 
Great growing!

What an interesting cross, I had no idea they were doing things like that now.
Congratulations on getting it to bloom. Love the colour.

Congratulations on a great job. What a beautiful plant. It may have take the buds what seemed like forever to open but the flowers can last for months.

Thanks every one, the second bud will be open soon. I got this one from an ebay vendor and I really don't remember who but I really think the pictures on ebay didn't do it justice. It really was worth the wait.
