This is a first bloom that I got from TOF as a seedling a few years back. As always, the blooms coming from TOF plants are even better than I had hoped for. I really like the purple spotting on this one and the pink splotches on the bottom half of the plant. Of course, as with most Stans, the scent is just amazing! Enjoy!

P.S. Do you guys think this one really is napoensis? I'm looking on Dr. Gerlach's site (http://www.orchidsrepbiol.de/cgi-bin...inae&t=usr_gg1) to make sure that this really is the same plant as the lablel says, but I just can't seem to make out the differences of insignis, platyceras and napoensis. Any help would be great!
