Default Vascostylis Kourishiro Ikai in bloom
Orchid fan is 5 1/2" tall, flowers 1" across. 22 inflorescence with 4 buds to open. Pleasantly fragrant. Even tho I have a digital camera the picture doesn't depict true color. If you know what a "bing cherry" is then you know the color - or perhaps a deep cranberry red. Enjoy!

That is a gorgeous one, Don! Such a beautiful sheen to the petals. I can imagine it in a bright light! Thanks for sharing.

That is beautiful, Don. The color is fantastic. Is it a large plant and is this the first bloom?
