Default Darwinra Charm 'Blue Star'
I posted pictures of this plant when it bloomed previously but I have grown it in full sun this summer and the flowers ane much darker and brighter. I like the Neofinetia falcata species but I think I like the hybrids better. They certainly do bloom a lot better.

The pictures are all of the same plant with different background. I was seeking a contrasting color. The first three flowers were photographed in shade and the last one was in full bright sunlight.

Jerry,
It is lovely. Is it fragrant?

Renée,
A Darwinara is a cross between Ascocentrum, Neofinetia, Rhynchostylis, and Vanda.

It's gorgeous. I like in on the black background best. The colour really stands out on that.
