Wonderful! I love the bicolor effect with the fully open flower and the partially opened one.

Gorgeous I have a couple pots of these, which get bigger everyyear. I gathered them from a logging line where they were getting demolished and they have made wonderful container plants for me..The ones we have up here do not have the spotted lip though, instead its a solid white lip with a vivid yellow plume in the throat very eye catching. Mine smell wonderfully like grapes candies. Did you notice a smell on these at all?
Wonderful picture of these rare beauties.

I did not notice any smell, regretfully.
