Ascda Su-Fun Beauty 'Orange Belle'
Flowering near exactly 6 months after its spring/summer flowering, not all that good but still nice. I really dont believe the adverts, " flowers twice a year" but I do with this one now.

Nice flower ... do you have a grex name for this?
BTW ... this should be in vanda alliance pages, not cyps

It is in the Vanda alliance pages but I think I make boo boo and added it again here instead of the Paph.ooops Sorry.

That's what I thought ... I am partial to yellow-peach ascocendas. The clone, 'Orange Belle' AM/AOS, is a great choice for anyone's collection.
Is the winter-bloom consistent with the summer-bloom?

The flowers are about the same size but 3 or 4 less and the color is a little softer, mainly because of the shading I haven't got round to removing yet. Slack I know, all I need is 3 of me.
