Ascocenda Crownfox Butterfly - September 2010

This orchid gets high marks for its clear colors, distinct markings and very flat flowers.  The size of the bloom is near the limit of this hybrid, about 7.5 cm.  8 cm. has been recorded on other cultivars of this hybrid.

This is the first bloom for this plant, even though the plant is quite a good size.  The arrangement of the flowers and the spacing seems to be very poor.  Maybe it is because this is the first bloom.
