Darwinra Charm 'Blue Star'

[Leisurely]

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.

This one is absolutely stunning!! What kind of cross is it?? Neofinetia (I think...) and what else?

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.

Tnx Ted for telling me what cross this is! Haven't seen this cross in local growers before I'd love to have one!!! The color truely is amazing! Has anyone seen this 1 in Europe/Holland? I'd love to know.

Ted, it has a very mild, pleasant fragrance.
